  • Works great! Easy fix! Lots of possibilities!
It is easy to use right out of the box & works exactly as it should. It really doesn’t bother me that it doesn’t me that it doesn’t send power over USB, just midi. I read other reviews about how the inputs seemed loose/flimsy, which they were. So I removed the two screws and took off the panel on the midi in/out side to see why. Because my worry was that they might be loose at the soldering joints on the circuit board. However, that is not the case. The circuit board just slides in and is held in place by the front and back panels. The circuit board moves around slightly inside the outer housing when you plug/unplug stuff. So I just secured the circuit board with some hot glue to the main outer housing and then put the panel back on with the two screws. It feels really solid now. The whole thing took less than five minutes. The longest part was waiting for the hot glue gun to heat up. I just love it. Now I can use my Casio XW-PD1 as a controller/sequencer, or I can control the internal sounds with a different piece of gear like my Yamaha Qy-70 or RM1X or any of my other midi keyboards/sequencers. I’m a hardware guy and the majority of my workflow is DAW-less. I primarily make industrial metal stuff. I try to avoid the computer as much as possible in that I prefer to use real instruments vs plugins, and daisy chain as much as possible (synths,drum machines, samplers etc.). The Casio XW-PD1 didn’t really have a place in my setup due to it only having midi over USB. Which was unfortunate because this thing is strange and weird. And strange and weird really inspire me for some reason. The midiplus really opens up a lot of possibilities for me to incorporate different gear, that I wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. The build isn’t super solid but for the price, and the easy fix, I’m super happy with it!! Fix recap: 1.) Remove either panel by taking out the two screws with an allen wrench. 2.) Apply hot glue on the sides and under the circuit board to secure it in place. 3.) Screw the panel back on. “OR” 4.) Spend two to three times as much on a fancier USB/midi host. I hope this helps someone out there! ... show more

  • Worked Like A Champ
I was a little skeptical about negative reviews. I have a NEKTAR 76 controller that does not have external power. It powers from the USB when plugged into a computer. I wanted to be able to use the controller with my I Pad 2 (30 pin) I have a Behringer I studio dock but is standard MIDI Din in/out. Originally bought a camera kit for the I Pad. It didn't work on a 2 because you need OS over 10 and the highest available was 9.3. Sent it back and started research on host adapters. The review made about this device does not provide power is false. This unit has a 5v PS. it provided power to my controller and I plugged Midi into I studio and I works great. This unit is half the cost of others and some of the research I did I found that some are proprietary. I am glad I ignored the mixed reviews. ... show more

  • It does the job, if it keeps running
I needed to connect a USB Type B port to MIDI. There seem to be two options on the market, and this one is by far the most economical. It does do the job, but when I first began using it, it would shut itself off occasionally and needed to be unplugged and reconnected. As I used it, this seemed to become less of a problem and may have been partially due to the nature of the output from my Yamaha P-105. ... show more

  • Limited but useful device at a good price
It works with many of my MIDI-controllable synths with a USB MIDI keyboard. But I also wanted it to send clock data into my Arturia BeatStep (which only accepts MIDI IN via USB) but that didn't work. I am pretty sure that this device does not transfer clock data at all. I also was hoping that the device would pass through any MIDI data received via MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT port (as many USB MIDI keyboards probably have no use for MIDI IN anyways) but this is not the case. This would have been great for chaining a USB MIDI keyboard into a series of chained MIDI devices but as it stands, the hosted USB MIDI keyboard would need to be at the very beginning of your chain. Haven't had any issues with USB devices not working but I don't have much USB MIDI gear from the last 5-10 years. ... show more

  • This device does not allow my synth to send midi from Casio CTK 6200 to Roland Vima JM5
I bought the MIDIPLUS USB Midi Host to enable my Casio CTK6200 to send its midi info. direct to my Roland VIMA JM5 sound engine as the Roland is a more expensive item with richer sounds than the Casio. After connecting up as instructed there was no communication from Casio to Roland. The Roland was able to receive and play midi files output from VanBascoe midiplayer on my P.C. and the Casio was able to send midi via usb direct to my computer an onto RED DOT midi record app. This confirmed that Casio could speak to P.C. via USB and P.C could speak to Roland thro midi in, but Casio could not speak to Roland as the Casio has no MIDI OUT except for USB connection. I did find a solution of sorts after abandoning the USB midi host. My computer is linked . via USB into EMU 2 x 2 midi box and its midi out linked to Roland JM5 midi in to allow me to play midifiles from VanBascoe on my P.C. to the Roland sound engine. This setup also allows my RED DOT midi recorder on my P.C. to play via midiout to Roland. My breakthro came when I discovered that RED DOT can be set to output midi whilst it is being recorded and RED DOT seems to have no time limit on the length of recordings. All you need to do is download RED DOT onto a P.C. or laptop and set it to start recording with the echo out box ticked. Just leave the recorder running and forget about it and all the time you play your Synth it will sound on your Roland or other quality sound engine if connected as above. ... show more

  • Works great to play my older synth modules with a mini-USB MIDI keyboard
Thought I was going to have problems connecting my Nektar LX25+ to my older synth modules via 5 pin DIN plug but, it worked without issue. This is day one. Will update if anything changes. Quick delivery and decent quality box. Good value for the money so far. Beats spending $100+ on similar boxes unless you need more MIDI ports. ... show more
