How Do I Get a Midi Cable To Connect to my Comp?
View this Thread in Original format

On my other computer I used to use a cable that connected into the joystick port at the back.

But that cable doesn't fit any connection on the back of my new computer.

The connections are reversed or something now.



I have a delta 44 soundcard but it doesn't have any midi connections.


Anyone know what i need?

If you have a regular MIDI device (like not the new hybrid ones that can work in USB too) you'll need an external MIDI interface. M-audio sells some decent ones also, the Midisport series(if it's a simple setup, even a 1x1 is enough. I you work with several midi instruments, it may be useful to take a larger one).

yeah, get a Midi interface or if it has a usb port, usb.

What can i do with USB besides hooking up a Midi Interface to it?

well If your keyboard has a Usb port you can connect a usb cable straight into the pc, but youd need to install a driver I dunno.

What keyboard you have?
