Reviews around deal (4.30 of 5)

  • The only issue that I have, is that with some keyboards/digital pianos (including mine), there is a great deal of latency
  • My new $50 cable works perfectly and was worth the money after dealing with this dud.
  • Going through and playing music, you'll have a very loud "E" play every time you press the pedal
  • BAD deal
  • Works as it says it does, nothing fancy, but great value for the price

Reviews around quality (4.03 of 5)

  • I'm hoping similar-looking devices have better quality control because I'm going to have to try one of those.
  • I feel like they are fine for what I use them for but they could have been a little stronger or built with a little better quality
  • Satisfies my use needs and seems to be of good quality for the price
  • Do not waste your time and money in this thing It never work it is poor quality and I had to put pressure in the plug to make it work for a few
  • From the other reviews, it sounds like they have poor quality control, and the units either work great or not at all.

Reviews around work (3.69 of 5)

  • HDE shipped a replacement unit anyway, and this one works just fine.
  • This works great to give me what I was looking for for scoring new tunes.
  • On my Yamaha 95B keyboard, this works fine for just the notes
  • The fact that it half works is more frustrating than it not working at all as its a bit of tease resulting in
  • Anyway, I tried a different, more expensive device afterwards and the more expensive device worked perfectly

Reviews around expect (3.66 of 5)

  • It works as expected except for one annoying problem which is most likely related to my specific keyboard and not the cable converter.
  • This worked as expected, I had no problems with functionality or latency.
  • I plugged it in, the operating system searched for drivers and it worked as expected
  • took a little while, but after arrival, the product is as expected and works great

Reviews around ship (3.56 of 5)

  • HDE shipped a replacement unit anyway, and this one works just fine.
  • The shipping was pretty slow but for the price the quality is great
  • wasted.2 stars for cheap and reasonably quick shipping
  • This piece of s... breaks and doesn't work after it worked for a week
  • By the way, while other sellers have it for either less, or free shipping, best bet is to get from HDE and shipping fulfilled by Amazon

Reviews around usb (3.30 of 5)

  • Have had my USB to MIDI cable and have loved it so far, have used for my DDM-4000, Keyboards, and drum pads, it is very easy to hook up, Just plug it in!
  • Tried a different USB to midi and that one works fine but this one corrupts sysex either sending or receiving
  • MKII 25-Key Ultra-Portable USB MIDI Keyboard and Pad Controller with
  • For regular USB though it works well, recognized immediately on an Ipad or by Jack in Linux with zero configuration needed, haven't tried with Windows
  • Unfortunately the replacement is displaying the same symptoms as the first unit, so now it looks like I'm stuck with two possibly-broken USB / MIDI interfaces

Reviews around time (3.26 of 5)

  • I have no reason to think that it will stop working any time soon.
  • I don't think it's the cord's fault, is that there's a very small audio lag from the time I press the key and the time I hear it
  • Fortunately I found the midisport and it worked the first time
  • The product arrived in decent time (though could have been sooner), but once it did arrive, it was great!It was easy to use and worked really well with my MacBook Pro's GarageBand
  • worked well for quiet some time now until it developed a short

Reviews around cable (2.96 of 5)

  • Another slightly more expensive cable worked with every MIDI device I own.
  • Barely works with some programs, get a good cable instead
  • Another slightly more expensive cable worked with every MIDI device I own.

  • I am new to the mac world but love that this adapter was such an easy item to purchase and install
  • Great value for the money!This particular item is available from many vendors

Reviews around latency (2.08 of 5)

  • Works perfectly -- records piano keystrokes in my audio editor (sold separately) and plays them back through the piano, as well as through the speakers of the computer.
  • Although it triggers properly, serious latency make it totally unusable
  • I have a Yamaha YPT-310 keyboard, and the latency was terrible
  • The latency is so bad, I am several seconds behind the tune.
  • The product works but the latency it takes to send the midi notes from the old keyboard to my computer is ridiculous

Reviews around review (1.72 of 5)

  • I had seen some more expensive interfaces advertised, but their reviews seemed pretty inconsistent.
  • I agree with another person who said it's possible some of the bad reviews may be based on the manufacturer and seller because Amazon has a lot of these same looking midi cables lumped in one category.
  • This interface cable seemed to have very consistent reviews, and for less than $7.00 (including shipping
  • I saw the bad reviews and the good reviews, and decided to take my chances
  • I was initially discouraged at buying this product, because some reviews said it may not work with all hardware configurations, but I figured for the price (about eight-ish dollars after shipping), that I could take the risk, rather than spend $30 on a similar cable that had possible no greater chance of working

Reviews around people (1.69 of 5)

  • I looked it up and found that many other people were having the same problem with the cheap interface
  • Other people complained about durability but the item seems physically well-made to me, and I haven't had any problems
  • Other people that have had problems may have had software issues but it works with a MAC and A Windows based PC just as well.
  • so I ordered this instead, knowing that quite a few people had no luck with this cable and their Yamaha keyboards
  • I will second a previous review that the lag people experience is likely from the software midi implementation they're likely using

Reviews around bite (1.69 of 5)

  • Cable works without needing a driver under Windows XP, Windows 7 64 bit, and Linux Mint 13.
  • It was quite a bit more expensive but at least it worked.
  • Going through and playing music, you'll have a very loud "E" play every time you press the pedal
  • The Blue light on the Midi side of the port is a little bit too bright and a little blinding if facing right at the user, but this really doesn't detract from the functionality of the cable
  • I had one that had a piece break off, so I bought this as a replacement and it did not work a bit.

Reviews around unit (1.44 of 5)

  • It could be that more expensive units have better processing and smaller chip sets, eliminating the need for the middle box, but I don't know much about that first hand.
  • Returning the defective unit for refund or replacement did not make sense since shipping costs would exceed the cable's value
  • Not a very good unit for alternative software Ubunto and GPL
  • I've heard conflicting accounts as to how more expensive units behave
  • Unfortunately the replacement is displaying the same symptoms as the first unit, so now it looks like I'm stuck with two possibly-broken USB / MIDI interfaces

Reviews around doe (1.00 of 5)

  • Going through and playing music, you'll have a very loud "E" play every time you press the pedal
  • I purchased this Midi/usb cable in hopes of a cheaper alternative, however it does not work
  • I will probably end up buying a better cable that does not have this problem (I think it's this cable converter that is the issue - someone correct me if I'm wrong), but I definitely wanted to warn people about the pedal
