Adb To Usb Options

[maudgazon]

Hi everyone, newbie here.

I've moved up from a 6800 to a PPC iMac. I've got midi modules that use ADB interface on the old Mac. Is there an interface that converts ADB to USB that I could use with my modules and the iMac ? I've heard that the Griffin one only works one way - keyboards and mice into MAC but not out to modules. Any information would be welcome. Thanks.

There are tons of adaptors you can choose from:

When you say MIDI Module(s)- can you be specific ? I am curious which ones ?

Hi Johnna,

whoops, sorry, finger trouble! I meant to say 8600, the Mac!!!
Some of the MIDI stuff I have is:
Boss SE70 processor
Roland CP40 pitch to midi
Roland CM32L sound module
Roland PC200 keyboard
Alesis Qverb
Yamaha CBX T3 sound module
2 x Ataris
Mac Classic

and various bits and pieces.

I'm getting a USB to MIDI converter which will do most of what I want. I used to use Max midi software until the disk it was on disintegrated itself. A new Max is way too expensive!
