I am looking into a WK 7600 Casio. It doesn't have any MIDI 5-pin DIN
ports, just a USB socket like what's on a printer ( square-with-beveled shoulders - a "Standard B plug". )
There are many cables/adapters that have a USB A connector and two ( one
in, one out ) 5 pin DIN MIDI connectors.
I need the *opposite* of this - I need a USB B connector on one end,
one each MIDI IN/OUT 5-pin DIN on the other. If it's active, fine.
I know I can bridge the MIDI streams on a computer - this woule be
something that would work without a computer.
Somebody just lent me an Oxygen 25. Same type of animal. Not traditional
MIDI at all. You connect it to a laptop, and use soundfonts to hear it.
As an early MIDI adopter, I'm seeing less and less devices for true MIDI. Sounds like your Casio and this M-Audio device are examples... Mine
expects to be powered over the USB cable.
