MIDI USB Port (1 Viewer)

Hi All,

Does anybody has a clue of where in Ireland I could buy something like this?

you could ask in peats (parnell street) or Maplin (jervis street). They're quite helpful when it comes to computery / electronicky stuff. Otherwise mail order from the interweb...

There's a place either on Clarendon Street or on South William Street - I always confuse them - which does a fair bit of "high-tech" music gear. I reckon you'd have a good chance of getting a USB MIDI port there.

Buying this type of stuff abroad is usually cheaper though. The shops here like to wallop on a chunky mark-up for themselves. Still, you get the after sales service (in theory).

Swangs and rindy bites, I guess.

howdo alex.

first of all, peats or maplin won't have anything like this. trust me.

you can try waltons and music maker etc, they'll have them, but at a price.

if you have a credit card then www.thomann.de is seriously your only man.

happy shopping!

done

and peats will have something similar, in the shape of a Creative Labs Extigy , a USB external sound card dobbily digital decoding midi thing - but it's expensive at around €250

Hi Lads,

I just got one of those MIDI cables you can plug into the Sound Blaster game port but I couldn't get the bloody thing working!

Any suggestions?

OS is Win 98, software is Cakewalk

Thanks a lot! A.
