I was wondering - it it possible to somehow connect an USB from a keyboard, to an USB>MIDI converter and then connect it to an other keyboard/module, using MIDI?
( like this: Keyboard >>>>USB cable>>>>> usb/midi converter >>>> MIDI cable >>>> other keyboard)

I don't think it's possible - a friend of mine who bought a keyboard without MIDI (what was this guy thinking anyway???) asked me about it... so now I have to solve his problem... :rolleyes:

no. If the board doesn't have midi (or support midi over usb), then your friend is SOL.

No, actually it does support MIDI over USB. Well, maybe not exactly MIDI, but it can be used as a midi controller.
What I think the biggest problem could be, is that PC and the keyboard communicate in some kind of their own language, so customizing your cable and connecting it to a midi converter would not work...

I never thought of this, because I would never buy a keyboard without MIDI (unless it's a rare vintage) in the first place... but vintages don't have USBs :rolleyes:
