USB-MIDI adapter for Snow Leopard
Hey,
Anyone have any experience and recommendations for an inexpensive (e.g. hobby-level) MIDI to USB connector? There are several I've found on the web ranging from $5 to $200 and I'm sorry to say I don't understand which one to get....
Thanks,
Mike

Re: USB-MIDI adapter for Snow Leopard
This would be a good starting point. You can be reasonably assured that anything M-Audio makes isn't total crap, that it will work with OS X, and that there will be driver updates for a reasonably long while.
If you have multiple MIDI instruments to record, the 2x2 version might be better. But it's more expensive.
What instrument(s) do you intend to use?
