Hi,
I'm having a hell of a problem sending midi data to midiNES, using ableton live, and I'm pretty sure it's because of my cheap usb/midi cable (from dealextreme).
Not only because of the delay, but also for triggering problems and notes off. MidiNES doesn't recognize none of it. No way I could do some arpeggios on ableton and send them via midi, because midiNES won't recognize none of it.
Then, I'm thinking of buying a good usb/midi interface. This one looks good and it's the less expensive: http://www.roland.com/products/en/UM-1SX/
There are some Cakewalk interfaces which are more expensive than Edirol, but in the end it's all made by Roland and they all have Fast Processing Technology (FPT).
Or am I wrong?
