Met my requirements perfectly
5 out of 5 stars
Met my requirements perfectly
My old Casio CTK-700 has the older style MIDI in/out sockets and this splitter/adapter is exactly what I needed to interface it to my Windows 10 laptop. Whether you're looking to learn to play (I'm dabbling with Flowkey and Pianu) or do some composing or sequencing, this adapter does the job perfectly and a very low price. Just be aware that you need to plug the lead marked "IN" to your MIDI out socket and vice versa. A definite 5 star product!

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2012
    After reading some of the reviews I was half expecting to have to find a driver for this cable or some other problem, so I was very pleased that it was so simple and straight forward to set up.

    I plugged it into my Yamaha keyboard and then into the computer's USB 2.0 port and it recognised the MIDI connection straight away with Windows 7 and running Cubase music software. No latency problems or glitches just a simple case of plug and play.

    The quality of the cable is very good as I wasn't expecting too much for the price but it's quite attractive, feels well made and rugged. A red light comes on to show it's powered and 2 other MIDI lights to show when you're playing and when you're recording which is really handy to check it's working ok and you've connected the MIDI IN/OUT the right way round...I often forget which way round the cables go if I haven't used it for a while.

    Indicator lights on a MIDI cable! what more can you want? Well worth it and delivery was prompt too.
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2013
    First of all let me start by just writing a few words giving you a sense of my technical background. I've been a music producer and a recording engineer in a past life, at one stage in my own studio. This was back in the day when reel to reel tape was the only option for laying down tracks, valve equipment was old hat (and not neveaux retro), and when MIDI was the next big thing. More recently I qualified with a BSc in IT and computing. With this background, I imagined I was well qualified to make this product work correctly. Not so; though I am probably able to review it with some authority.

    Put simply, I know my control-change data from note-off information, which is more than this product does.

    Here is what should happen: all MIDI data from the controlling device - in my case a not inexpensive Yamaha SY35 keyboard, should be translated accurately into the receiving device - the software on the other side of my USB port.

    What actually happens: some note-on note-off data gets through, but not if you play chopsticks any faster than walking pace. This means that some notes are missed in their entirety, while others will sound, but not stop when you release the key. As other reviewers have mentioned, you will get some truly 'creative' results if you deign to employ a pitch bend wheel (a very unmusical glissando that refuses to silence), or the modulation wheel to, for example, switch a simulated Leslie speaker from slow to fast). In the latter example the results are literally random - I couldn't achieve any type of repeatable results.

    Also mentioned in other reviews are that the MIDI cables are easily mixed up: the de facto and de jure standards for this are that 'IN' is plugged into 'OUT' and vice-versa. It may be confusing, but trust me, it has ever been thus with MIDI. I seem to have been sent an 'upgraded' model, whereby the manufacturer has swapped these labels around for reasons better known only to themselves.

    The driver business is also something of a red-herring. My product installed itself with a generic driver (on Windows XP 64Bit Edition), but this is to be expected as the operating system will apply whichever driver the chipset in the product identifies itself as needing. As most of these cheap controllers probably have the same basic chip inside them, it is to be expected that they will either all work with your OS, or not. But that is by the by.

    So to summarise, this product isn't worth your £5 note - no pun intended. What I have described above might seem overly technical, so I'll put it in layman's terms: if you expect to press notes and then to actually hear those notes (and no others) , this device is not for you. Do yourself a favour: don't punt the money hoping that it will work 'for simple occasional stuff' or 'for the kids to learn with'. Mine went wrong on around the third key press. Get a Yamaha UX16. They do work (and no I don't work for them).

    Good:
    - Plug it in, and Windows 7 will automatically start installing drivers.
    - Works perfectly with the 3 pieces of software that I intended to use it for (MuseScore, MilkyTracker, Synthesia).

    Not so good:
    - Product looks different from the picture, and has 3 LEDs on the middle part.
    - Plastic seems a little cheapy on the middle part.
    - Product description states cable length is 2M - this is incorrect and cable length is more like 130cm. If this will be a problem for you, you may want to look into getting a cheap USB extension cable.

    Other:
    - If you're having problems with getting it to work, try restarting your computer after the install, and making sure the MIDI device is shown and configured properly in your software.
    - This was my first time buying something from Hong Kong, so I can't say if the delivery time was good or not, but I purchased on 9th March, and it was delivered on 4th April.

    Works perfectly with my laptop and Cubase 5 plus a couple of MIDI utilities I use.

    Wouldn't work after laptop woke from hibernation, but that is a problem with any USB device on that laptop....

    Didn't need any drivers to get it working on Windows XP - just selected 'USB Audio Device' as instructed and it worked.

    Could have paid A LOT more for a name brand item (and some better packaging), but this thing does everything I need and has worked with everything I've thrown at it, so 5 stars!
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2012
    This lead is a very cheap alternative to an expensive MIDI interface, and would be ideal for someone who just wants to connect a single keyboard to their PC, for example.
    Unfortunately, it doesn't quite qualify for "Plug & Play" status. I had bought it for a friend, who runs a VISTA PC. When the lead was plugged into the USB socket, an error report came up - "Can't start, your device has not been installed". A quick glance at the device manager showed the dreaded yellow triangle and exclamation mark.
    A quick bit of internet searching revealed a source for a Generic Driver, and after an install, a restart, and a second install, everything fired up, and it is now working properly. A small inconvenience for a product at an extraordinary price.

    Reviewed in Spain on 6 July 2025
    Compré este cable para conectar un teclado MIDI antiguo a un portátil con Windows y ha funcionado sin problemas. Es literalmente conectar y usar: el sistema lo reconoce automáticamente sin necesidad de drivers (al menos en Windows 10/11). En mi caso lo uso con software como GarageBand o Kontakt, y la respuesta es inmediata, sin latencia apreciable.

    El acabado del cable es correcto, no es profesional, pero por el precio que tiene, cumple perfectamente. Las conexiones MIDI-IN y MIDI-OUT están claramente marcadas, así que no hay posibilidad de equivocarse al conectarlo.
