440 Forums _ Getting Started _ "simplest" Usb -> Midi Interface?

I need to get one of these to hook up my Blue & White G3... apparently my Opcode Midi Translator II doesn't work through the printer port

I guess the simpler (cheaper?) the better; I'll only be hooking one keyboard up for now - that's all I have anyway. Guitar Center said they had one for $30 (the UNO, but even on their site I see it's $39) and when I got there they "didn't have them yet" and kindly offered one at $45... uh-huh.

Anyway...

Thanks,
Andrew

Did you select the printer port in OMS or midi application as the port sending and receiving midi data? In OS9 you should be able to use the printer port if its selected. Won't work in OSX though.

Hi Dan -

Yup, tried just about every combination thereof...

Got it!

Got it got it got it.

I had to build a little studio in OMS first....

Thanks!
