Note that if you're running a newer Mac (I have a MacBook Pro) you have to download the latest driver from Yamaha. And another gotcha is that you have to completely uninstall the driver they give you in the box before the new one will work. It's annoying as all get out, but the instructions for how to do the uninstall are on the CD so it's not -too- bad.

Anyway, once the right driver was installed this cable worked perfectly. I can record myself in GarageBand now while playing my DD-55 drum kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yamaha UX16 -- simple and convenient, January 27, 2009

I bought my Yamaha UX16 USB-MIDI interface just the other day. It replaced my former MIDI hookup, which was more complex and cumbersome.

My other midi connection was a Midiman Midisport 2x2 from M-Audio. It was cool for a while, but I ran into a serious problem with it. When I upgraded my computer to my current system, I found that M-Audio does not have a 64-bit driver for my MIDI hardware. This left me with no choice.

I called a few local electronics and music stores in my area. None of them had this in stock. However, I ended calling Piano Distributors in Sarasota. They had this for sale for $35.00. I knew I had struck gold.

If you want to connect an older keyboard to your PC or laptop without any glitches or problems, get your hands on a UX16.

Works flawlessly on both 32 and 64-bit versions of XP and Windows 7. If you need a legacy MIDI DIN connector to USB interface this is the product to buy! BTW, I have only tested this product with Yamaha brand keyboards! Well built and a decent cable length.
