Reviews around quality (3.95 of 5)

  • The software is good, but the cable just isn't as good as quality as this one is.
  • Worked first try and quality of construction seems great
  • There is also a slight chance it is my piano, though I have a very high quality one and thus highly doubt it
  • This thing is really high quality, more than worth it for the price
  • I have other E-Mu products and they have been good quality, this is another example of that.

Reviews around price (3.64 of 5)

  • Great price for a great cable, if you need a USB to MIDI this is the one!
  • This MIDI interface is NOT compatible with the Yamaha P-155
  • when I start pressed down the pedal it sometimes play very loud E note
  • I searched quite a bit for the best price on a USB-MIDI adapter initially until I read some reviews of cheaper units which suggested greater latency with them.

Reviews around driver (3.44 of 5)

  • I found that with XP I needed to install the drivers on the enclosed disk for the interface to work properly.
  • when I start pressed down the pedal it sometimes play very loud E note
  • The driver, however, will not work on 64 bit windows XP, i have discovered, because it seems to be a bit unstable, when writing to a memory address that is usually reserved for some windows functions, often causing a blue screen, or sometimes freezing windows
  • On the other hand, when I got fed up with the idiotic back and forth e-mail nonsense requesting that they read my e-mail, I contacted American Music and they sent an RMA immediately
  • Works great on my linux system and no drivers to install!
