Apparently your controller doesn’t meet MIDI specs. Spec voltage is 5 volts, but MIDI Solutions products can run on as low as 3.5 volts. Also, it’s spec for MIDI-Out pin 2 (the center pin of the five) to be grounded. Either the controller is running MIDI at less than 3.5 volts, or pin 2 isn’t grounded. See http://www.midisolutions.com/faqs.htm Your controller isn’t listed with the ones that don’t work when directly powered - if you haven’t already done so, you might want to notify MIDI Solutions so they can add it to the list. However, perhaps you should contact M-Audio and ask them if your experience is normal for their product. Maybe they’ll offer some assistance, if you ask nicely. |

Sorry to hear that! But there are often reasons why some of these low-cost controller boards are low cost.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :) After buying a $150 MIDI Solutions Velocity Converter then a $50 MIDI Solutions Power Adapter to power the converter, I was finally able to make my $200 M-Audio keyboard act like a $400 keyboard that has velocity adjustment.... GO FIGURE Anyways, everything is good now.. I also bought a one-to-two MIDI solutions Thru module so I can split my hi tech keyboard signal to go to both my Rack-XS and also my DAW.
Thanks for all your help

Congrats on getting things operating to meet your needs. It’s amazing what a full range of MIDI key velocity allows access to. |
