    Midi over USB is more efficient, easier to plumb and can avoid having to use separate power supplies for each device than traditional Midi. However it does requires a USB host to work. For the majority of us that will be a USB hub attached to a computer. The hub is a ingle point of failure unless you spend the money on an an interface that has failover capability. Midi cables and Midi devices also fail but when it happens it’s easy to put another cable in place or plumb around whatever has failed. Lose the USB hub and well good luck. So carry a spare and maybe a few old school Midi cables just in case.

    Hey Pete, I have a piano with Midi In/Out. I know the Midi Out is working 100%, never used Midi In yet so I can't say for sure but I assume it also works. Questions:
    1) Can I connect such a cable to only the piano's midi out, essentially only connecting one of the midi ends?
    2) Does the USB light on yours light up already when you only have the USB connected but not the midi? Reason I'm asking is because I got a similar (but different brand) cable yesterday simply can't get it to work at all. None of the LEDs are lighting up at all. I tried different USB ports on my PC already and also on my tablet.

    • @PeteJohnsMusic
      @PeteJohnsMusic  Год назад

      Hey there. Yes, you can totally use for just MIDI out from a keyboard. That’s how I use mine.
      And the issue with it not working? I’ve found that cheaper cables are super unreliable which is why I recommend the Roland/Edirol version. It’s a little more expensive but everyone I’ve recommended it to has had success.

      It does work with just the MIDI out and in being used as many more modern MIDI keyboards only have one. MIDI doesn't ever send phantom power in my experience, but I'm far from an expert.

The usb midi interface doesn't light up soo it's an issue with the keyboard and not the software. My manual is long since gone and it's a pain in the ass to get a digital one from their website.
