In the process of upgrading to Vista 32-bit, I have had to change the SoundBlaster Live card which had a Gameport to a SoundBlaster Audigy 24-bit Card which has neither a Gameport nor a USB port for connecting my External Synthesizer to the Computer.
I find on the Yamaha web-site that they have a USB to two 5-pin DIN plugs (for MIDI-IN & MIDI-OUT) connector along with the driver. My old connector has the two 5-pin DIN plugs. Is it advisable to get a local computer shop to convert the Gameport 15-pin plug to a USB plug? Or is it a tricky job? Will the Yamaha driver or a Vista driver make my external synthesizer work?
