What do you need exactly? I have some sitting around. If they're what you need, then I'll send them to you! ;)

Hey thanks for the thread! I needed a question answered about MIDI as well.

Do I HAVE to have a sound card (PCI) for a MIDI-Keyboard connection?

Thanks,

I bought an Edirol UM-2EX (the UM-1EX was out of stock at the time). It has drivers for Windows XP x64 as well as normal WinXP and Mac OS X; I've not had any problems connecting my PowerBook G4 and Windows x64 PC with my keyboard for recording in Digital Performer or Sonar.

B&H is in my opinion the Newegg of audio, photo, and video gear. They have a huge selection of MIDI cables here, if you need an extension cable.

As I said, which cable do you need? I have a couple of the straight-through, male-male MIDI cables and I have at least one of the "gameport to 2 male plugs" cables.
