USB MIDI on Yamaha NP-V80

by Allan
(CA)

I like the Yamaha NP-V80 and was all ready to purchase it, until I saw that it didn't have MIDI IN/OUT. It only has a USB MIDI. I have older MIDI gear that requires a MIDI IN/OUT in order to trigger the Yamaha NP-V80.

Does anyone know how I could trigger my old MIDI gear using the NP-V80?

Thanks!

You're the clever one Allan.... I bought the NP-V80 and the salesman told me "Of course it's midi connectable"

I also bought from Amazon the midi to USB connecting cable and adapter..... it doesn't work.

Quite simply I cannot use my old Alesis and Emu modules with this new keyboard.

I've searched through articles on the internet and nobody has a positive answer!

On the bright side, the piano sounds very good through the mixer and PA speakers.

I've used this lightweight keyboard several times now on stage, and the feel and sound is far superior to my old Roland.... but I'd still like to be able to activate the old modules just now and again!
