Works perfect, just make sure you plug it into the same USB drive every time to avoid repetitive driver installs.
Great for synthesia May 3, 2009

Quick note: make sure the 'In' plug goes into your 'Out' on your keyboard and vice-versa.
I bought this to work with a game like guitar hero, but for the piano, Synthesia. The game plays the notes on your computer screen, and then the music comes out your keyboard (best to prevent lag).
I experience practically no lag when working with Mixcraft, using the sound driver "Wave-RT" in the settings. Mixcraft is a fun music recording studio program.
The Cable did what I wanted for a great Price March 26, 2010

I bought this cable so that I could use my Yamaha YPT-320 keyboard with my laptop computer, with an emphasis on using it with Synthesia.
I was initially discouraged at buying this product, because some reviews said it may not work with all hardware configurations, but I figured for the price (about eight-ish dollars after shipping), that I could take the risk, rather than spend $30 on a similar cable that had possible no greater chance of working.
I'm glad I did. The cable works as I expected it. I initially was confused about the IN-OUT method of the ports, but figured it out. The lights on the cable light up when the cable is receiving a transmission from either the USB side or MIDI side of the cable, which was very useful in troubleshooting technicalities and configurations. The Blue light on the Midi side of the port is a little bit too bright and a little blinding if facing right at the user, but this really doesn't detract from the functionality of the cable.
Construction of the cable felt sturdy.
Windows 7 X64 edition set up the cable, and selecting the USB Midi Connection in Synthesia, setting my YPT-320 to PC2 I was able to jam away. I could even have the program playback notes to the keyboard. I did not notice any major lag between the program and the keyboard through the cable.
I also briefly tested the same setup with the FL Studio 9 trial, and it seemed to work equally.
I would recommend this product, cheap and functional.
Very Affordable and Works Great! April 6, 2010

Neither my new PC or my laptop have a game/midi port, so I needed this type of converter. I had to stay within a small budget. Many of the other converters I searched and looked at started at 8 times the cost of this one. For the price, I had to try this one. It works great! I find it to be very low in latency, much better than the game/midi port type. Now I am able to connect all my midi devices to my PC and laptop. Cable lengths seem to be fine. Red and Green LED lights indicate connectivity and indicate a signal being sent. So far I have had no complaints about this converter, and if it ever quits working, I haven't lost a bunch of money in the process.
Works perfectly, excellent value April 11, 2010

I was looking for a USB/MIDI interface compatible with Vista 64. I had seen some more expensive interfaces advertised, but their reviews seemed pretty inconsistent. This interface cable seemed to have very consistent reviews, and for less than $7.00 (including shipping) I felt it worthy a try. I have to say it exceeded my expectations. Installation was a snap (I just plugged it in and Vista detected it). After I downloaded a tool to set my MIDI output device for Vista, I was enjoying listening to MIDI files on my keyboard via Media Player. I tried recording some simple midi sequences as well, and did not notice any issues with latency reported in some of the reviews. The notes appeared in the sequencer as soon as I played them from the keyboard. Overall I can say this is a great product to try. I received the cable within five days of ordering as well. Great experience using Amazon, as always.
