Review: Download the drivers for the UX-16 USB-MIDI cable on the Yamaha Web page - Expensive but worth the buy and compatible for an old Yamaha keyboard i'm using. I looked at cheaper MIDI cables, and tempted to purchase one, but thought not worth the hassle if the cheap cable does not work for what i'm using the keyboard for. Before the cable arrived i'd already found the drivers on the Yamaha web page for Yamaha UX-16 USB-MIDI cable to work. So this was relatively easy once the cable arrived, and the keyboard works perfectly
Review: Yamaha Midi-USB Connector - Bought this specific product as it was recommended for my keyboard manual. I am learning piano/keyborard and wanted to be able to record my output/progress in a fun way using my PC and to be able to dabble in due course in midi/music mixing. I am using this device with Sony Acid Music Studio software and it seems to work fine with that. As other reviewers have stated I had to use the supplied CD to help me go find the Windows 7 64 bit driver via the web links on the CD. The manual tells you not to plug in the device before installing the driver but the driver installation then said it found no device present and could not install! I was therefore not sure whether this had installed OK the first time so I repeated the install with the device connected just in case. A bit confusing but all seems to have worked out OK for me without too much hassle. You can check if the driver has installed via Control Panel where it sets up its own configuration utility. The device needs no separate power it is powered through the USB bus. All I would add is that midi-music is clearly something quite advanced and therefore I will need a lot of time and patience to begin to get best use out of this device and the software I have got! That's not the device's fault!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with Windows 7?**
A: Yes it does work with Windows 7.  The installation software takes you to the Yamaha website or file download.

**Q: This is a technical question. Is this a class-compliant USB MIDI device ?**
A: It is not class compliant. Most USB MIDI adapters are class-complaint and need no driver, but the UX16 requires a driver, and a reboot after installing the driver, before it can be used with OS X. That being said, I see many accounts in reviews of the UX16 that it works properly when other (presumably class-complaint) adapters don't.

**Q: Had some problems with a cheaper cord.   Will this work with MacBookPro/garageband?**
A: This midi interface works fine with my old MacBook (2008 with snow leopard) and a Yamaha PSR620 keyboard.  You will need to download the driver from the Yamaha website though. The disk that comes with the cable is not readable by a Mac.

**Q: Can I use this cable connected to a converter connected to my ipad and get my musical keyboard to talk to my ipad.**
A: Honestly, I don't know what that converter you mention is all about, but it does not sound possible to me. I know about MIDI solutions for iPhone and iPad which work really well. I bought an IK Multimedia iRig MIDI for my iPhone 4 and I am very happy with it (there is a new version supporting the lightining connector for iPhone 5, etc.). Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by B***N on 29 April 2010*

There's not a lot to review, really, but it works well. The main (good) thing is that there is no noticeable delay at all. I've heard that some cheaper products have quite large delays. The instructions for installation were some of the most confusing I've seen, and seem to contradict themselves. But if you just ignore it all, plug the device in, put the CD in and get windows to search for the drivers it works fine. This is for Vista (it may be different for other systems). The IN and OUT "labels" are very hard to read on the plugs. But like I said, it works very well, and works fast.
