Bargugl from IN Member Since: Aug 2005 View Member's: Reviews	Works as advertised Strengths: Makes connecting a MIDI device to a computer easy Weaknesses: Thin cables, overpriced Summary: This MIDI interface does the job as advertised allowing you to connect a single MIDI controller or keyboard to the USB port on your computer, thus eliminating the need for a sound card. This device is designed for merely connecting one device so if you are looking on connecting more, it is better to look elsewhere. While this is still the cheapest method of connecting a keyboard to a computer, it is still overpriced for what it is, although no manufacturer sells a device any cheaper than this one. The device connected to XP SP2 without any difficulty. According to the manual it is is MAC compatible. I was disappointed in the cables. They are standard consumer grade and no thicker than your basic RCA cables. If one were to use this in a stage environment, the cables would not hold up. One nice feature is the MIDI thru function. If you outgrow this simple device, it is still usable as a daisy chain cable. 100% of People (12/12) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

I found it for a good price and so far so good. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

arnolda from TX Member Since: Mar 2008 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 5 Days	Edirol UM-1EX Strengths: Inexpensive, simple to connect, works as advertised. Weaknesses: None, yet. Summary: 2008-03-28 13:43:57 Another good Roland product. The switches are a bit cheap, but work properly. I expected the cables to be more substantial. They are about the gauge of home stereo cables. But, overall, the unit performs as advertised. For the needs I have, it works good. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
