UX16

USB-MIDI interface for laptops or desktop computers

The UX16 USB-MIDI Interface is the easiest way to connect your musical keyboard to your computer. If your computer has a Universal Serial Bus (USB) jack, you simply connect the UX16 to your USB connector on your computer and plug the MIDI in and out cables into your keyboard. You will have to install a "driver" so that your computer knows about the UX16 and the driver is included with the interface on a CD-ROM. The length of the USB cable is 2 feet and the length of the MIDI cables is a little over 4 feet. All Yamaha portable keyboards made in the last few years have MIDI jacks on the back (5-pin din jacks). Most Yamaha digital pianos, including Clavinovas, also have MIDI jacks on the back. Any keyboard, including those not made by Yamaha, that has MIDI connectors will work with the UX16. The UX16 can handle 16 channels of simultaneous playback. It supports music production systems with one MIDI OUT port (16 channels) and one MIDI IN port (16 channels). USB cable can be connected and disconnected while the power to the computer is on. The UX16 operates on USB bus power and does not require a power adaptor or batteries. The indicator lights show if the UX16 is connected properly to your USB jack and there are also lights to indicate when it is receiving MIDI IN & OUT. The number of ports can be expanded by using a USB hub to connect multiple UX16 units. A maximum of 32 units can be connected, depending on system capabilities.
