MIDI with USB BB cable
« on: February 25, 2018, 12:44:32 AM »
Hi,

I'm considering buying a digital piano, it don't have the 5 pin MIDI output but handle it by USB (a B connector output).

Would a BB cable work to use the piano as a master keyboard to control the P12?

Thanks

No it would not. USB needs to have a host/master and a slave to work. Devices with A-ports are masters. B and C are slaves.
Finishing songs is for loosers... *Cue overproduced 8-bar loop made entirely from a processed sample of my tears splashing aganst my empty wallet.
