MIDI noob question

Postby superbmario » 10 Jun 2011, 12:59

Hi im wondering, can i use the NS2 with a USB midi controller keyboard, that is USB powered only?

i was concerned that the NS2 USB MIDI jack was only used for connecting to a computer, whereas the midi in/out would be used for secondary keyboards/devices? thanks alot

Hello superbmario,
Welcome to the forum!
Your instincts are correct.
The USB jack on the NS2 is only for connection to a computer, not another device.

The USB connector on the back of the NS2 is a "B" connection and doesn't provide the 5 volt power that an "A" connection would.
I hope this helps.
Cheers, Hanon
