TRiP Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 so upon modding my Monotribe to have MIDI IN/OUT I bought a cheap USB-MIDI 2.0 cable, it seems i should have done better research first as these cheap MIDI-USB cables pretty much notoriously all don't work with any Windows systems post XPafter many many hours I think i've finally got my laptop to recognise the cable as a USB-MIDI 2.0, but now my next problem is trying to test and see if it is infact workingIt shows up in Ableton Live as (USB-MIDI 2.0), but can't seem to actually get it to receive or send any MIDI note info, nor' does LIve indicate any MIDI activity in the top right corner when it playsso does anyone have any solutions for me? A USB-MIDI interface with drivers that WILL work with Windows 7? Am i just routing it incorrectly in Live? Is there any freeware programs that one could use to simply test if the cable/drivers are successfully sending receiving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EleminoP Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I use this with Windows 7 fine: http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-Midisport-Uno-MIDI-Interface/dp/B00007JRBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363904383&sr=8-1&keywords=m-audio+midi+usb Although I'm fairly certain I got it for $15 at RadioShack many years ago.

TRiP Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 yamaha ux 16: is it good , dudes? in my searching i'm pretty sure at one stage I was on Yamaha's driver page and it seemed to have Windows 7 (and possibly 8) drivers available to download may try downloading the ux16 driver and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRiP Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 actually, just remembered i had already tried the Yamaha driver - doesn't work tho as in order to complete the installation it require you to plug in the ux16 - and obviously when i plug in my cheap usb-midi device it doesn't detect it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chunky Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 tried a cheap-oh usb midi from ebay hong kong, never worked trying to use a ps3 controller on my lappy never worked either, even with the driver could have been a problem with the usb on the laptop rather than the gadgets? missing windows driver? this was on windows vista i'm thinking of going for the ux16 so i'll let you know how it works out buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
