Re: Connecting QY100 to Computer Via USB to Serial Adapter?
|
Thanks for the advice Prea - it is appreciated. After looking into this some more, it sounds like there are 3 general ways to approach connecting the QY100 to a computer:
1) Serial - adding a physical serial port ... via a serial model add-on card (or pci adapter) + then a serial cable + a serial midi i/o 2) USB -? using any compatible USB midi device 3) USB serial - adding a USB device that adds a serial port that's connected with a cable to a serial midi interface (thereby converting the serial device to USB basically)
It sounds like you're ~ following option #2, and I'm going to try option #3 (which seemingly should also work)... I guess the biggest question now is what software to use for receiving and storing the Data Filer data?
The user guide doesn't mention anything about this, but I assume there must be something on the computer side to accept the data stream...
So if anyone has any suggestions / recommendations for this (especially on the Mac side), that would be much appreciated.
Thanks again, Jim

Hi Jim
although coupling vintage with vintage is fascinating indeed, I recommend using a cheapish MIDI-to-USB adapter: I also tried for both 100 and 700, and something like this
would solve the problem.
Keep the switch on 100's back set to MIDI.
I'm conveniently using this and a Windows 7 laptop with the 100 Data Filer.
Best
