What is Reddit's opinion of TENINYU USB to MIDI Cable Converter 2 in 1 PC to Synthesizer Music Studio Keyboard Interface Wire Plug Controller Adapter Cord 16 Channels Supports Computer Laptop Windows and Mac?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

According to my googling, the Volca doesn't have USB port on it so it's not MIDI over USB, you need something with USB on one end to connect to your computer, and MIDI on the other end.

>All the available USB-MIDI cables seem to have a USB end and TWO MIDI ends, so I'm doubtful that will work.

No, it will work - and that's what you need if you're on a budget. Something like this was the cheapest I found with a quick search. The two MIDI ends are for "IN" and "OUT"

The easiest way to make it work is with a USB to MIDI cable. Just plug that into the MIDI output port on the keytar.

The Roland UM One is higher quality but more expensive, even cheap ones will do the trick. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07L8KFYBK/

Cant speak of the 20$ model, but I have a 10$ model which I have used for more than a decade (since Vista) that is still functioning. It looks exactly like this one, though I cannot say if they are the same and nothing has changed in 10 years : https://www.amazon.com/TENINYU-Synthesizer-Microphone-Instrument-Converter/dp/B07L8KFYBK/

Any way you can get a midi out signal from your PC to the pedal will do. If you already have an interface with a midi out - then a basic 5 pin midi cable is enough. If you don't, then a usb-midi cable will be the best bet if you need to open your wallet anyway. You can get them for not too much $$ at all. This isn't the exact one I have, but it looks really similar and is probably the same thing with a different brand name on it

As for cables connecting to the Whammy DT.
- Regular guitar cable between your instrument and the Whammy DT input.
- RTC in the Whammy DT signal output.
- Midi "out" from your pc or interface, to the midi input of the Whammy DT.

That is it, well other than the power cable for the DT.

This is probably the cheapest way to do what you’re trying to do with the Arturia https://www.amazon.com/TENINYU-Synthesizer-Microphone-Instrument-Converter/dp/B07L8KFYBK/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?adgrpid=57633602098&dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwmqKJBhAWEiwAMvGt6Lk2YeLLUsi6b80OwG2ENmWp0jkDwmNlISQ8SZUGvrDTZ9rzuedF_xoCmgkQAvD_BwE&hvad...

Considering how cheap these are:

Probably not worth the trouble to DIY it, and you definitely won't save any money

(This is just a dumb cable, you still need a USB host, which for most people will be a laptop or tablet. Could be a phone too)

Alot of M-Audio's stuff from that era simply does not have drivers for modern operating systems, so sadly you're out of luck.

Basically the only way you could use it is with a converter like this:

You may also need to buy a power adapter if the usb isn't powering the keyboard. At that point you should probably just cut your losses and buy a modern keyboard.

I'll tell you what I know and what I don't. tldr though... it does work. And it was bizarrely easy to set up.

First: You need a trigger brain that supports midi. I've found the Roland tm6-pro on an acoutsic kit with roland triggers is my personal sweet spot. But I'm pretty sure anything that puts out midi and has some kind of electronic drum or hybrid drum design to it... should work just fine. So long as you can change the midi channel for your triggers on the off chance it doesn't line up with what Drummania is expecting.

And you need a ps2.

However! PS2's are region locked. And unless you want the double-rabbit hole of working around region lock, it's just easier to buy an imported japanese ps2. I got mine for like $60 on ebay. There's a whole other thing about which ps2's to get. A good overview here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ps2/comments/byjmn6/any_versions_to_avoid/

So serial numbers DO matter... but I found getting one of the SCPH-900xx models was an easy way to keep cost down (because this model has region lock that is harder to get around. So folks sell it for cheaper). And since I was already shopping for something that ONLY played import games, it worked great for me, AND it kept the price down. Serial numbers are frequenly posted in ebay listings... so there shouldn't be any real guess work here.

Then you're gonna want a midi usb cable: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L8KFYBK/

And last would be a copy of the drummmania games that support usb midi as the controller. Drummania Masterpiece Gold FOR SURE works. https://remywiki.com/CS_GFDM_MPG

Other Drummania games probably do too, but I know not all of them. I haven't gotten around to testing beyond gold. Since frankly there's more than enough on that one disk to keep me busy for a couple years, even if I practiced an hour a day every. single. day.

All told you get this kind of experience is the comfort of home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYHcDW5wuWE

Here's someone scrolling through all the songs to give you a sense of the breadth on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Wx9hhPPss

The person playing at the end was on basic... and this game is notorious for pushing coordination into the stratosphere.

Here's advanced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPw8_plxUeM

Here's extreme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDKg3kl1wPI

And honestly it's where I wish I would have put my money 4 drum instructors ago. Which at $50 a week... would have saved me so sooooo much money. And would have scaled with my growth.

Sidenote: I'm also a teacher by trade (not music), which makes me a notoriously difficult student. But I found just sitting down to this for an hour every morning was less prep work, and more growth, than any other system I'd tried. And again teacher... so also a knowledge-system/growth freak.

Anyway... that's everything. Get out there tiger :P

That keyboard looks like it has MIDI, so you will need some sort of USB to MIDI interface. Do you have something like https://www.amazon.com/TENINYU-Synthesizer-Microphone-Instrument-Converter/dp/B07L8KFYBK lying around?

thanks u/bluGill. i got this from amazon. it hope itll work

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L8KFYBK/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

maybe this

Get a cheap USB to MIDI cable, plug your kit in through USB to your PC, plug the MIDI out from the USB to MIDI cable into your MPA, open up this site in Google Chrome (by the dude who made RL), and then set the Flam Timing to a timing which fixes it for you (to me, 32 ms is the perfect timing), and bam, fixed lefty flip in RB3!

wow......really? i had no idea thats how you were supposed to activate the midi....i havent been able to make it red, even doing what you suggested by holding the button.
i just received a new midi to usb cable, the same one you would see in most videos.

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the red indicator light came on and everything!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am SO relieved. thank you for all your help!!! i will be getting a refund on my first cord, which funny enough, was more expensive. im not bashing it, it just doesnt work for this keyboard.

It's a known problem for MPA with RB3 on 360 :(

If you have a computer nearby though, I created something that gets around it. You'll need something to connect drums to the computer and computer to MPA. Something like this will work (https://www.amazon.com/TENINYU-Synthesizer-Microphone-Instrument-Converter/dp/B07L8KFYBK). Then, with everything plugged in, go to this website(https://bookreader52.bitbucket.io/), and the website should forward every note you play from drums to MPA, but essentially auto-flam'ing cymbals so that glitch can't happen.

Also, if you're interested, I also made a desktop version somewhere so you don't have to keep the web browser open the whole time haha

Search Amazon for "USB to MIDI cable". Anything like this will work:

https://www.amazon.com/TENINYU-Synthesizer-Microphone-Instrument-Converter/dp/B07L8KFYBK/

Note the big round 5-pin connectors.

For a pedal, search for "sustain pedal". Itf it mentions Yamaha or says "Universal" or says it has a "polarity switch" it'll work.
