I acquired a generic Chinese clone (it's translucent blue with 3 LEDs, top scored with just "USB Midi cable") that uses the drivers' ROMI / O "of this model EgoSys (probably because it is probably same chip as the model). This is not illegal, it is common practice in electronics / computer.
The concept is the same but with only a single output: mini-box self-powered USB 1.1 port, a MIDI-in and one midi out. The cables are integrated, long (1.3 m on each side or more than 2.5 m ') and armored good strength (a prirori it defaulted on the original model of EgoSys).
Led a good testament to the power of the case, a further exchange of points given out for MIDI and a third signal input signals.
Only difference: there is only one output but adequate for what I do: connect two MIDI in / out of my non-USB piano with my laptop.
UTILIZATION
Warning: this copy with the drivers ROMI / O Ego Systems are essential to find yourself on the Internet because they are not supplied with the equipment (for copyright reasons).
This clone is Plug & Play, but is not recognized automatically the first time on Windows XP-SP2. The facility has three tests required because we must follow the instructions, otherwise I found it to crash.
OVERALL OPINION
It works seamlessly with all good software using a MIDI keyboard. I tested it without problem with Reason, Finale, Sibelius, and quite a few other small apps that require keyboard input. Midi output is also no problem (Using base without extreme conditions).
Advantage: there is this clone on the web 20 to € 30 ...
