      Used the Xmidi to connect an Axiom 49 MIDI to A Windows 7 PC. Simple plug and play, system recognized the devices and updated driver on its own. Works perfectly.

      Comments about E-MU Xmidi 1x1 USB 1.1 MIDI Interface Cable:

      It's hard to find anything good or bad to say about this. It's a little 1x1 MIDI-USB interface, and it works just fine. I use it either to hook up an Axe-Fx Ultra or a Roland TD-4S to an iMac running OS 10.6. It works just fine for whatever programs I'm running, too. It works, and that's what it's supposed to do.

      Comments about E-MU Xmidi 1x1 USB 1.1 MIDI Interface Cable:

      I use the interface to connect my mac to a Yamaha keyboard. As long as you make sure to connect the cabled labeled midi in to the midi out outlet on the keyboard and the midi out cable to the midi in outlet then you should have no trouble. My mac recognized the keyboard right away and I use it with garageband.

        I used this to hook up an old midi keyboard to GarageBand. It worked right away without any special setup. Only con is that it's hard to focus on schoolwork now :) .

          Couldn't be easier to use... does exactly what it says it will, plug and play. At least on a Mac. I haven't used it with Windows.

                Absolute MIDI greenhorn, trying to get ancient Yamaha keyboard talking with laptop, Windows Vista, 64 bit os. Some kinks, but don't know if I'm the problem, or 64 bit compatability issues.Good price, [...]suppose the very meager instrucions that came with it are adequate for some, but left me with more questions than answers.

                  I have an Alesis QS6.2 MIDI keyboard, and didn't want to invest in an expensive audio interface. This handy little device allows me to use my current sound card and plug in using a USB slot. Easy to install - just make sure to watch where you plug in (the MIDI In on the cable goes to the Midi Out on your device).
