Perfect for SysEx and MSC
Works easily and consistently on Mac OS X. Will happily transmit SysEx without any trouble, so MIDI Show Control (MSC) commands work. The build quality is not amazing, and the strain relief on the join between the USB interface and the MIDI cables is poor. However, the functionality is perfect and it works first time. Excellent value, does exactly what it's supposed to.

No longer fit for purpose (unlike another previously purchased)
I am sorry to have to report that this product does not work as a midi input interface.I bought one of thee in September 2018 and was extremely happy with it because it worked great and continues to do so. I was so pleased with it that I bought a second one - exactly the same item - in December. However, that one did not work and, looking at the data stream, it's obvious that it isn't sending Midi properly. Assuming a faulty item, I got a replacement and, unfortunately, same behaviour. I tried to contact the manufacturer using the details contained witin the product packaging but never received the courtesy of any response. So I gave up and got a refund. I can no longer recommend this product because it is not fit for the purpose it is sold for and the manufacturer doesn't seem to care. Very disappointed. My original 5-star review text is below for the sake of posterity.-------- the below used to be true but sadly no more --------This is the second USB MIDI interface that I have tried (the other being "Docooler USB IN-OUT MIDI Cable HiFing One In One Out"). Just after a quick test, this one appears to work fine. Although still made in China, this one is from a German company and it works for me where the other one didn't. I am using it with Linux and it just plugs in and works.In response to comments about the cable quality, mine appears to be good and intact so I expect the other reviewer got unlucky. Yes the cables are thin but not overly so and I quite like the fact there isn't an itermediate box half way along the cable. It's neat, tidy and just works.

Works well
Works great on my Yamaha piano and my laptop. A fraction of the price of an official Yamaha cable. I read that you need to download Yamaha's drivers and I had a problem installing them, but (using Windows 10) it turned out I didn't need the driver anyway - works as a plug and play.

Fast and effective with no glitches. Low latency BUT annoying noise on audio.
I'm using it with Ableton Live Lite 9 and a good quality Technics keyboard. There's barely any latency so this is a great way to compose on the laptop. I saw one bad review about cable termination so I've checked mine carefully: there are no wires hanging out. I think this is going to last me years and give me great fun - all for about a tenner!Connecting the MIDI cables immediately causes an annoying buzz in my laptop's audio. It's OK if I unplug the mains adaptor and run on battery, so this os some kind of earthing fault. A MIDI interface should have a very high level of isolation between devices so this should not happen at all. I wonder whether they cut corners in the design and skipped the opto-isolator.

Great cable for the price
Works well so far. Using it with an iPad Pro with lightening to USB 3 adapter (cck) and an old Yamaha P-80 Electric piano. It does not require external power to the TIE adapter with this set up. No dropped notes. Cables are a little thin but fine. Was warned against cheap cables but this one has a good cost/quality balance as seems to function very well. I bought a Warehouse deal one as although the packaging was damaged etc it was arriving much sooner than the regular new one would (several weeks) and was a little cheaper at under £10. Was worried that it might be a broken returned item but works fine.

Get this instead of cheap cables. No hanging notes and transmits Sysex.
Well priced. This product is cheaper than other brands like the M-Audio but has the same functions.I am using this with the Korg Volca FM to send Sysex data from my Mac and iPad. This product works with both. It also has no hanging notes, which every cheap USB MIDI cable does. It also successfully sends Sysex data, which cheaper products also do not.Sysex capabilities seem to be a completely hidden function among USB MIDI cables, no products state whether they do or don't have it. This one thankfully does.I'd 100% recommend just getting this product instead of faffing around with cheap ones and never having a good experience with them.

Disappointingly useless
I bought this product so I could have a separate MIDI in/out for each of my 4 rack mount synthesizers - particularly for sending System Exclusive commands so I can tweak sounds in real time, and doing bulk dumps and bulk loads of patches over MIDI. I'm running Reaper 6 on Windows 10.I connected the unit up, so each synthesizer had its own MIDI in/out, fired up Reaper, and went into the MIDI hardware settings so that Reaper recognised the MIDI inputs and outputs for the new device. So far, so good.Next job was to test that everything was working. Output 1 was working OK, and I was hearing sound. However, outputs 2, 3 and 4 would cause each respective synthesizer to show a MIDI data error, and not play anything.Being the geek that I am, I thought that I'd fire up MIDI-OX to analyse the MIDI data going out from Reaper to ensure that the note on messages were going to the correct output. However, MIDI-OX was not able to open the MIDI output - turns out that the driver for this only allows the interface to be open in one application at once. That's useless for me - as I want Reaper open so that I can map a keyboard connected to a different MIDI interface to a synth module connected to the TIE 4i4o so I can play the keyboard into Reaper and hear the synth module make sound, while tweaking the sound via System Exclusive in another application. The MIDI interfaces for my Roland MX-1 and even my Creative SoundBlaster allow this - so goodness knows why the driver for the TIE 4i4o does not.This product is going back ASAP, and I'm going to hunt down an M-AUDIO Midisport 4 instead. At least that should actually have a chance of working!

Best alternative cable yet.. this one works properly
If you own an older boss GT6 this cable is far cheaper alternative to the boss um1 and you use gt manager to programme it so far is the only non boss cable that has worked as it should..super value for money

Aucune latence et bonne stabilité
Utilisation sur un pédalier FC300 Roland, qui ne possède pas de prise USB A, donc uniquement des prises DIN, le convertisseur est sans latence décelable (mesure avec protokol), un voyant led indique la présence de signal midi, les signaux "active sensing" (témoin de continuite du signal) passent sans problèmes, bref utilitaire très efficace

Bra köp

Bardzo dobry produkt
Ten kabelek łączy historię ze współczesnością - zadziałał od pierwszego podłączenia na kompach: Win10/Ryzen oraz MacOs 12.6/Intel/M1 z podłączonym niemal 30-letnim keyboardzie Yamaha PSR-310. W innych produktach często piszą, że z Yamahami czy M1 są problemy. Warte każdej złotówki.
