MIDI USB Interface Cable Adapter With Input & Output for Piano Keyboard/Synthesizer, Professional Recording & Editing on Windows/Mac, Black (6.5Ft)

I have a collection of retro and modern synth keyboards, and several different DAWs. Trying to get a USB / MIDI connector that could work reliably with any combination of those synths and DAWs was a perpetual bane of my existence . . . until I got this one.Amazingly, the USB / MIDI connection comes up every time when I want to activate some external MIDI device (or combination thereof). My only complaint might be that the cabling seems a bit thin, fragile looking, but at least it does actually work!Pictured here is just a small section of the synth lab where I have already used this cable.

I use it with garage band and it has survived moves, being tossed into random drawers and being connected to various computers. Still works perfectly. Picks up the velocity just fine from a pretty good keyboard I got from a pawn shop paired with garageband.Only downside is the lights are crazy hella bright. I fixed it by putting 4 layers of duct tape over the light and now it is reduced to a nice ambient glow. I'm not going to ding them on it, because really, who cares, but if you are going to have it in your bedroom, you will wanna cover up the light.Oh and as others have said, plug In into Out, and Out into In on your midi device. I am guessing this is the norm, but to a newbie like me, it was a useful piece of info.

Having used other manufacturers of USB/5-pin-MIDI adapters in the past, and having had to struggle with all of them to get gear to work, it was an absolute joy using a LiDiVi adapter for the first time -- I plugged it in, my keyboard was immediately visible to my laptop, I pointed my laptop software to it, and, done!We're staging a community theater production of MAMMA MIA! that requires five keyboards with laptops to manage the 100+ MIDI "voices". Five keyboards, all different manufacturers, ranging from new to 15-years old, laptops running multiple versions of MacOS, as well as Windows 7 and 10. The LiDiVi adapters have worked flawlessly on all the permutations.Two quibbles: The cable connecting the circuit module to the USB port is rather short, while cables to the IN/OUT MIDI ports are quite long and prone to getting tangled; I'd prefer the lengths were reversed. The LED "power" light is glaringly bright. We'll cover the lens with tape, but I wish they'd simply chosen a softer LED light level instead.

plugs in and works. im sure the quality could be more durable, but it is what it is for the price.

I was expecting this thing to be a piece of hot garbage actually, given the price but it actually does what it says! The one exception that I noted above is that you have to plug the "IN" to the "OUT" and the "OUT" to the "IN" on the MIDI plugs. How did I figure this out after about an hour of frustration? I read the box lol. On the back of the box it is in the instructions. I've been a musician for 40 years and never messed with MIDI but I'm pretty sure this isn't normal but hey, whatever works! Now my 30+ year old Kawai MS710 has MIDI going through it for the first time and I am trilled!All-in-all this thing is GREAT! I am very pleased!!!!

Lo utilicé con una batería electronica Millenium, el cable la tomó a la primera como MIDI, hasta puedo jugar Clone Hero, GH:WT con la misma

Seems like a sturdy cable, it does NOT work with Strymon effect pedals. This was my intended use so I hope you see this review before buying if that is your need!

This, and probably all of its incarnations, is not dependable. After less than five hours of use, it began emitting notes on its own. In my case, after playing a note and holding it more than one second, it fabricates about 1.6 random notes every second. This repeated note continues until the key is released. But it doesn't fabricate a note-off event so the fabricated note hangs. Actually the fabricated note isn't random. The fabricated note is velocity driven. Play a note softly and the fabricated repeating note will be lower than the played note. Play a loud note and the fabricated repeating note will be higher than the played note.
