Product Description

Product Description
The UX16 USB-MIDI Interface is about the easiest way to connect your musical keyboard to your computer. If your computer has a USB jack (most computers in the last few years do), you simply connect the UX16 to your USB connector on your computer and plug the MIDI in and out cables (shown shortened in the photo above - the actual length of the USB cable is 2 feet and the length of the MIDI cables is a little over 4 feet) into your keyboard. You will have to install a "driver" so that your computer knows about the UX16 and the driver is included with the interface on a CD-ROM. Many people that purchase keyboards would love to be able to save and edit their songs in the computer, the same way that they use Word Processors. Having a graphical display, whether you choose the Piano Roll view or Notation view, makes it very easy to fix any errors you may have made playing your song. Of course, composers like the fact that they can print their masterpieces. Once you are connected to your computer, you will need some kind of music software. There are many kinds of software available for handling music, from very inexpensive to thousands of dollars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cable!, August 8, 2007
By W. Marshall (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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
By Edward Balen (Bradenton, Florida) - See all my reviews
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.

Yamaha doesn't tell you that you need their cable to connect to a PC. But you do. It's too short so you have to have the keyboard hugging the computer.
