I haven't... but the cable was cheap, it was the USB to MIDI interface that cost so much. I hated spending the money, but still haven't set it up yet either. Talk about lazy... I'm too lazy to set it up so that I can be lazy and not have to manually enter them.

I don't think the cable would be that hard to make but building an interface might be a challenge. Maybe someone can tell us.

 

So there has to be some type of interface? I was looking at the pin outs on the USB and Midi connectors and assumed that you could just connect them directly. Of course when I assume, I always get it wrong!

 

Btw... welcome to the Shack!

Yeah... I'll see if I can't find what I purchased and post a link to it.

 

Okay.... I ordered up the Edirol USB/MIDI Interface with a 15' MIDI cable. The interface was about 35-40 bucks and the cable was about 5-6 bucks.

Here's a Froogle search on the Interface. The first one list it for $34 but not sure if it's in stock or not. This is cheapest route I could find... but I didn't look around for too long.

Thanks much for the MIDI info and this wonderful site. It sure makes playing with the BFD much more fun!
After some more research I found that my sound card actually has a Midi/Game Port connector on it!! It is amazing what you find out when you RTM The Midi to 15 pin D connector is about $15.00 so I will give this road a try.

Yeah... lol... the first instructions in the manual should always be "Read the manual!" Then again, if we never open it up we won't even see that. :dontknow:

We look forward to seeing some results! :T
