    CREATIVE EMU XMIDI 1X1 USB MIDI Interface

    • The bottom line is that the cable is much less expensive than the alternatives, so look for those lights!
    • As a musician who writes music, having a good solid MIDI cable is absolutely essential.
    • the cable is long enough where I can comfortably have it away from my setup and not in the way
    • I mean, there's not really much to say, but I own this cable and it works great on FL Studio and Reason
    • Upon plug-in, Windows automatically loaded generic drivers and the cable was then ready to work
    • So if you have a Yamaha keyboard created in the last 3 or 4 years, this cable will not work.
    • My other cable works fine, and my 2 other keyboards work fine with other cables, but nothing on this cable, with either keyboards
    • This cable is also extremely fast in terms of communication and there is no lag when recording
    • I had one of those cheap $5 USB-MIDI interface cables you see with the silver cables.
    • The cable looks sturdy and works
    • Awesome MIDI cables
    • Much to my discontent the cable did not work for my application and I had to purchase a M-Audio Midisport Uno instead
    • I simply plugged it in, changed nothing else and my MIDI latency problems disappeared, plus using a MIDI event monitor, I noticed this cable is really fast.
    • I do wish the cable was a little sturdier, it still blows my mind that something this rudimentary would cost as much as it does, but better safe than sorry!
    • -defect-causing cable itself when I actually use it.
    • Clearly visible in audio settings and in JACK.A little pricey relative to a $5 USB MIDI cable I bought at the same time, but I had to wait weeks for that cheap cable to arrive from China.
    • When we gave the keyboard to a neighbor's child, we gave them this cable as well
    • Good cable, but the biggest issue is the driver functionality
    • I'm not sure if it's the cable or the keyboard, but I did read on one of the several forums that someone switched the cable in and outs and it worked
    • The USB connector itself is a little loose, but as long as you aren't moving your computer around or bumping the cable a lot, it should be just fine
    • Be careful before you purchase -- there might be another cheap midi cable that works better with your operating system or DAW.
    • This cable also work on a non-powered USB hub as well
    • Anyway, this cable worked like a charm.
    • This cable work with my Yamaha MIDI enabled keyboard and my Yamaha DD-65 electronic drum
    • Poor quality cables, software not included.
    • I bought this after buying a cheap $2 cable thinking it might work
    • This is a great cable and right out of the box you can tell it's pretty high quality
    • BTW, I put a small piece of foam around the USB connector which is made of hard plastic and contains the circuitry, as the cable would sometimes fall to the floor when unplugging from my laptop.
    • Bought the cheap $10 USB MIDI cable on Amazon and it was a complete dud
    • Great price for a great cable, if you need a USB to MIDI this is the one!
    • Don't buy the cheaper cables.
    • This cable works!
    • This is a good USB MIDI cable
    • I have an older Korg N264, but these cables still worked great with it and my macbook pro
    • This cable is great low latency and a bus of data very fast is excellent
    • Eleven months of use reveals a reliable cable that's always up to the job
    • most cables you buy will be like this -- the cables labeled "MIDI in" actually plug into your keyboard's "out" (and vice-versa)
    • The cable is made very well and is rugged enough for travel
    • I haven't used it much, but it's a very fast cable
    • I love this cable, works great with my Kawai ES100 keyboard
    • I love this cable, works great with my Kawai ES100 keyboard

    • In any case, this is a great cable, and I highly recommend that you try it out and see if you like it.
    • This cable works flawlessly in GarageBand on a MacBook Air, and using other recording apps (Logic Pro and ProTools 9) on my iMac
    • The M-Audio cable worked perfectly the first time
    • If you or a loved one is musically inclined and has a MIDI keyboard and software like GarageBand to record, it's a great cable to have.
    • That cable supports two MIDI busses
    • This cable is fantastic
    • Worked immediately, unlike the two cheap "generic" USB Midi interface cables that I'd bought earlier.
    • when I start pressed down the pedal it sometimes play very loud E note
    • 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
