I hope one of you big guys can give a quick answer on a stupid question : I want to hook up my e-piano to my imac g4. The piano's plugs say "tohost". Do I still need a midi interface or does a cable do the job? what kind of cable? I never found a usb-midi cable on ebay or similar. Thanks, Hope Im not being too dum

all depends on what connection your e-piano has with the "to host" port... for example... i have a Yamaha CS6x which has a serial port that goes directly to computer (older macs had serial ports) but I have Blue and White g3 and just use a USB midi interface instead. Is your "to host" port serial, USB or can you tell?
