PC Port <-> USB

 

Hi, I'm curious about getting the most out of my QY70, including the bidirectional PC MIDI interface mode. Has anyone found an adapter or something that lets you use the host connector with a modern computer?
 

In case anyone is interested, found an answer to my question about using the 'To Host' port with a modern computer here...

There is another option for getting a serial connection on a modern PC, which is a network serial device such as the RocketPort or DeviceMaster from Comtrol (other companies are available and these may not even be the best options from Comtrol).? All PCs nowadays have network ports and most of us have networks.? The network serial devices are small boxes that contain a tiny computer and have one or more serial port and a network connection.? The drivers will make one of these look like a standard serial port on the PC (actually it can be accessed by any PC on the network).? They are more complicated than the simple USB-serial (or USB-MIDI) devices as they are nowadays mostly used for industrial control applications (and probably somewhat more expensive too).? I'm just mentioning these as I've used them for work applications for serial control from modern PCs - I haven't used them for MIDI or RS232 etc serial connections.


Regards,

Richard.

Thanks for the information.
?
Just for future reference I included direct links to the various CBX drivers from that site. ?

If anyone ends up using them in a complete in a complete TO HOST solution please feel free to add the hardware/software instructions and the driver file to the files section.

For now, here’s some more direct links to the various CBX driver files:
?
?(ver. 1.5.2, 07 April 2020)
?(ver. 2.4.1, 23 July 2020)
?(ver. 2.2.8, 18 August 2020)
?(ver. 1.3.7, 04 July 2019)
?(ver. 1.3.2, 11 June 2018)
?
That site () is indeed an amazingly HUGE repository of driver files, though there does not seem to be a search function, but rather just a great deal of indexing links.
?
Cheers!
