New to Midi, help with connection.

[Dayve]

Hi

I would like to connect my Roland Digital Piano to my G5. Wondering if anyone is able to give me some pointers on how to connect?

The Piano has a MIDI Out port (No USB), the G5 has Firewire, USB & Optical In.

I think I'll be able to set it up from there, but I'm just stuck on which type of cable to go for?

Many thanks

any midi interface or midi-to-usb cable should do the job.

Superb. As easy as that then. Many thanks!🙂

I'm using this with my Roland "E" series keyboard and Intel iMac running Leopard. Works fine.
