I currently use M-Audio Midisport USB/Midi converters and they work great.
However as you all know they work great but is pretty pricey.
I need about 5 USB/midi converters (maybe more) and is wondering if
anyone has good experience with converters that is a bit less expensive.
I would rather spent $50 compared to $200 for M-audio for the converters
if I can help it.
E.G
Just for luck I tried some Chinese ones at about $5 each but they dont
work.

They show up as "Audio Device" in the midi inputs, and they create TWO
"Audio Device" entries in the Midid Outputs namely "Audio Device" and
"Audio Device (2)" I use XP Pro.
Although they are recognized by XP, and a driver is assigned
successfully, they unfortunately fail to connect with any of my midi
hardware, while my M-Audio does perfectly.
Anyone know of any cost-effective converters that actually work ?
Thanks.
