Hi I am Just Starting Out In Music Production and I am looking for some help on setting up my midi equipment. I have an evolution 249c midi keyB and an opcode 64x midi interface. I am wanting to know how to conect them to my pc. I have an audigy sound card with a game port.
Do i connect my sound card to my midi interface using the game port and then the keyb to the interface. ?
I do not have any midi cables as yet as i am unsure as which ones to get. The game port is a 15 pin but the interface has 9 pins.
If anyone could point me in the right direction i would be very greatfull.
Tony.

Hello Again people.
I have just bought myself the midi lead that was kindly suggested by big D for my sound card, and I was just woundering if anyone knows anything more about midi interfaces that could help me....?
I have a Opcode studio 64x 64-Channel Midi Interface/Patchbay and am a bit confused about how to connect my equipment to it. On the back of the interface are 2x 5 pin connections one called pc thru and one pc computer. there are also 6x midi outputs and 4 midi inputs.
I am wanting to connect the midi interface to my pc sound card and my evolution keyb to the interface.
What is the correct setup i should use...?
I am using cubase sx and reason 2.5, and i am looking into getting myself a roland MC-307 GROOVE BOX and Roland EF-303 DJ GROOVE EFFECTS. and may be some other midi stuff.
Sorry if this is a really dum question but i am a beginner....

Tony, I'm not certain you can connect midi to a game port. I'm not even sure there is an adapter you can use.
You'll need a midi in port on your sound card to get what you need done.
