MIDI Man Mac interface to PC?

MIDI Man Mac interface to PC?

2004-04-06 by wildstar_1701

i've got a 1/1 MIDIMAN interface for Mac, with an 8-pin miniDIN
serial output. 
i'm wondering if it's possible to get an adapter that allow me to
hook it up to 
my PC laptop. and if i can hook it up, will it even work? that is,
will the PC 
recognize the interface and will the interface talk to the laptop?

the laptop is running XP, and has standard serial and parallel ports
on the 
back, as well as a USB port.

if anyone has any knowledge about this kind of juryrigging, i'd love
to hear 
about it. thanks!

Might be easier to just fork over the $30 for a Windows based MIDIMan 1x1. 
 If there was an adaptor for what you want (and I'm still not sure what 
you're asking), it would probably cost this much anyway.  ;)

This will work on the larger 4x4 and 8x8 midisport interfaces,
Dont specifically know about your 1x1 tho, besides the cable is like $20+
not very cost effective for a 1x1 interface

you're totally right. i feel ridiculous. sometimes us geeks get obsessed with 
trying to make something work by any means possible, instead of just doing 
the easy thing.

a lot fo that time would be better spent trying to make better music.

thanks!
