USB/Midi cables for "Toast Me" KPAEditor Project - What to buy?

greenblob · May 3rd 2018

Any chance you guys using the rapidly evolving "Toast Me" editor software (homebrewed by @DamianGreda) could share some online store links of suitable "USB to Midi" cables that are working well with the full sysex data send/receive signals?

I only ask as near the end of the original thread @tijlcarrein mentioned:

"You can use a USB to Midi cable but make sure you are getting a quality branded cable that can transfer FULL SYSEX data.
Mostly these cheap cables can handle basic mid pretty well, but the Toast ME editor works with SYSEX messages."

It would be massively appreciated to us newcomers to get in on the action. The more people testing this amazing project to it's limits the better! Oh, and thankyou again to the the software creator/s!

Zoom U-44 is probably the cheapest (109 euros) audio interface that has MIDI I/O and even optical/coaxial SPDIF input and output.

Ah, sorry. I meant USB to Midi cables specifically (that go between the kemper and the audio interface), not suggestions for audio interfaces themselves.

Greenblob, please look more closely at @tijlcarrein's previous post. There are a bunch of recommended USB to Midi interface cables in his list. They are not all USB Audio Interface devices.

M-audio Uno did not work for me.

I have the M-Audio Uno - Running Windows 10 - Installed latest 6.1.3 driver. It works it keeps getting dissociated with device manager and I have to re-connect the usb to the pc. I have an ASUS motherboard and have tried both USB 3 and legacy USB ports but no love.
