AGPtek USB To MIDI Keyboard Interface Converter Cable Adapter Support Windows Win XP Win Vista Mac OS

Received the product quickly, which was packaged in a plastic sealed bag shipped in a bubble-wrap envelope. The components seem sturdy enough - not particularly cheap, nor fancy. Read the directions in about two seconds (the type is MINISCULE), connected it, according to directions, to my Yamaha NP30 Portable Grand keyboard and my 2010 13" Macbook Air. Garageband immediately recognized an additional midi input. Selected a new track, and a grand piano voice, and bing, worked. No problems whatsoever. And I personally noticed zero latency. I also didn't notice any driver installation on my MBA. I want to stress there was no latency and no weird problems with updating drivers: it just worked right off the bat. I don't leave a lot of reviews, but perhaps this will help others who are skeptical of the price decide. The alternative, for me, was an obviously overpriced $40+ solution. Thanks!

I originally bought this cable 2 years ago when I needed an better bridge between my PC & Radioshack Casio 76 key clone. I was using Vista 64 at the time, so I had no OS issues and had zero problems with my audio software detecting the keyboard - it would come up as "USB 2.0 MIDI device" when in use with my particular software. Pros: Cheap cost, versatile cable for older midi controllers, piano keyboards & interfaces Cons: I have no complaints about this cable, it worked for me as intended. Afterthoughts: I've read other reviews between this cable and other similar cables, the surprise for me, was reading about other users experiencing hisses, pops, background noise, unable to use their sustain peddles. I reasoned that it wasn't my PC, MIDI keyboard nor the MIDI/USB cable - it was due to some audio software I was using at the time. Once I uploaded the file to an online audio distributor, it turns out that My not properly mastering the equalization, effects and volume in my tracks, contributed to underlying background noise, hisses and pops in production, that didn't show up later in post production/uploads. I did have issues with my pitch bender and sustain peddle, yet, again; my software couldn't process the use of those pieces, so it wasn't a cable/hardware issue - for me.

*Update: I've also tried the pictured model (bought from another retailer), and it too suffers from the same problems. If you want a working MIDI-USB cable, stay clear away from this product. I highly doubt the other people who have success stories have done anything beyond pushing down keys. The real issues with the product come into play with anything beyond a mere up/down note messages - sustain pedals, pitch benders, modulators, etc are where the issues are. So if you're looking for anything other than simple key up/down recognition, look elsewhere. Original review: The product pictured is the 'AGPtek' MIDI cable (with the treble clef note), BUT if you place an order for this one you will receive some other generic MIDI cable with the word 'MIDI' stamped on its case. Unfortunately it has been reported in numerous places that the 'MIDI'-stamped one this listing is really for does NOT work correctly, as has been my experience. All kinds of incorrect data is transmitted to the PC on this cable, resulting in random notes being played, no sustain-pedal recognition and other issues. However, the AGPtek model has gotten good reviews. I'd stick with them (if you can find a legit. source). As far as CE Compass goes, the company was very good about resolving the situation - they refunded the cost of the product AND the shipping both ways, which is pretty important to me when something is incorrectly advertised. They acknowledged that the information on Amazon is incorrect too; however I still see the same unchanged listing (which will result in this same issue over and over). I'd like to say Amazon is partially responsible here in not verifying what their 3rd party resellers are selling. This is the second time in a row where the product shipped was different from what was advertised. So, the low rating is not so much for the company (who have great customer service), but rather the product and Amazon.

I had this directly shipped to my son who is living in the Bay Area. He plays guitar and I gave him my old Yamaha electric 66 key MIDI keyboard. He wanted a cable to connect to his computer, so I bought the same cable I had which cost almost less then if I had it shipped from my house to him. I will asked him how it is coming along. However since I have not heard from him lately, I believe it must be working well. I will have to try my old cable with the computer again to see how it works. It had worked before with Sonar MIDI software.

Great, just what I was looking for, excellent. Works with windows Vista, Linux and Rock Band 3 keytar. Finally got the right one.

i ordered it on saturday night. it arrived monday afternoon and i was jammin later that evening. excatly what i was looking for with out the big price!

My Mac appeared to recognize it, but the cable wouldn't respond to any MIDI messages. Lights on the cable turned on and stayed on, regardless of whether it was even plugged into anything. Another lesson learned about buying Chinese junk.

It works ju! that's all I have to say they wanted me to write 17 words but I really didn't want him to wear so I just said some random stuff

Pese a que a mí no me funcionó, lo he probado en el teclado de un amigo para comprobar su funcionalidad y dar una opinión acertada sobre él, la cual sería sin duda positiva pues sí funcionaba con su teclado y transmitía con muy buena calidad usando GarageBand

el articulo esta en buenas condiciones, es recomendable para aficionados de la musica que quieran conectar sus instrumentos a la computadora

Dipende sicuramente dall’uso che ne si vuole fare, io dovevo aggiornare una pedaliera Nova System e questo prodotto assolutamente non funziona. Mi sono poi informato un pó e ho visto che in generale questo genere di prodotti vale veramente poco, meglio orientarsi su prodotti più costosi di marche note nel settore.

Je vous en supplie si vous voyez ce message N'ACHETER PAS CE MIDI ! C'est une catastrophe ! Préférer les Roland, M-Audio ou Icon. Si je pouvais m'être aucune étoile je le ferais sans hésitation. Tester sur plusieurs piano Il effectue des problèmes différents sur chaque clavier. Roland A800: un appui sur la pédale sustain me sortait un Do Sur un autre clavier l'utilisation du pitch bend faisait un boucan comme si on appuyait sur plusieurs touches du clavier ! Depuis je suis passer sur un Icon midiport 2 et aucun problème sur tout les claviers et systèmes d'exploitation

The LEDs are a little confusing, since one seems to be on all the time and the other not at all, but it works very well.
