I have a YAMAHA psr E203 keyboard. I bought a MIDISPORT UNO USB adaptor. It has two 5 pin plugs for in and out sockets on keyboard. Both wires come together to make a Y at the other end wich turns into is a sinlge USB plug for the PC. I entended on using my keyboard along with some piano teaching software (such as Piano Suite}. The program is supposed to provide realtime feedback when I press the keys. There is major delay and I have heard it all as far as what could be wrong.
Drivers.I was told by YAMAHA that I need to install Yammaha driver. The USB adapture uses the WIN XP standared audio usb driver. I see no way of intalling the keyboard driver as there is no way the computer will reconize the keybaoerd is attatched. It just pick up on the USB chord. The cord does have a sort of modulater. I was told by the software company that my keybaoerd is sending too much information. Yamaha says no and there are no settings to fix it. Also, I went to yamaha page and downloaded thier driver pack. There is every model except mine in the downlaod file. I cannot find any refrence anywhere as to another model driver being compadable. Even so if I do get the driver, what do I do with it? the pc again just reconizes the USB cable.
Anybody, All I want to do in the cheapest way is to hook up my board to the pc so I can use it along with the piano software. When it tells me to play notes, I have to hit the keys 5-10 X's just for it to register. The funny thing is, if I am using my keyboard to play tempo music, I am able to get a quicker response on the pc end. THe virtual keyboard highlights it's keys in sequence and my pressing keys registers about 90%. Yet it is so slow to respond when simply pressing the piano key without backup music. Any ideas please Help. Guitar Center can't even tell me what's up.
You can install the Yamaha driver whether or not XP detects the connection between your USB/MIDI adaptor and keyboard. Normally, if XP were to detect the new hardware, then XP would launch a dialog-box for loading the appropriate driver.
Next, you might need to reboot your computer. Afterwards, your computer should be able to detect your keyboard via the connection between the keyboard and USB/MIDI adaptor. In case you wonder how your computer could do this, the detection of the connection could happen 1 of 2 ways: 1) the Yamaha driver periodically probes the USB/MIDI adaptor for connections, or 2) your keyboard sends a signal via the USB/MIDI adaptor announcing its presence to XP (which in turn forwards that message to the Yamaha driver).
