MIDI Software and soundfont you're using to play.

Operating system version, including service pack and bitness (32 or 64 bit).

If you can't find a solution to your issue, feel free to contact me and provide these info (the more the better): If the multi-meter applies reverse battery to an opto-isolator, the opto-isolator will be destroyed immediately, and that connection will no longer work.This page contains a list of questions VirtualMIDISynth users asked by email or Website contact form. As a matter of fact, the opto-isolators are exactly why you do not want to test with a multi-meter. These connections are opto-isolated, so there is no chance of shorting anything out, if they are reversed. MIDI IN on the adapter cable is an input, so it needs to connect to MIDI OUT on the keyboard, but the problem is, many of these low priced adapter cables have the labels reversed, so once you get yours to connect to Windows, if data is still not flowing, try reversing the 5-pin connectors to the keyboard. It needs to connect to MIDI IN on the keyboard. So, on the adapter cable MIDI OUT is an output.

The MIDI Spec requires the output connection of any MIDI device to be labeled MIDI OUT and the input to be labeled MIDI IN. If the 5-pin connectors on the adapter cable are labeled correctly, then they are labeled for what they ARE and NOT for what they connect to on the keyboard. So, you are best sticking with the name-brand units (Yamaha, Roland/Edirol, M-Audio, etc) up around $40 or more. At one time, if you spent at least $15 USD, you were fairly well assured of getting a working unit, but of late, the cheap, non-working knock-offs are showing up in the $20 to $25 range.

Now, all of this said, the low priced MIDI-USB adapter cables, of the type you show, are notorius for causing the exact problems you describe, particularly with Windows 8 and 10. This usually involves nothing more than going into your MIDI software's Settings menu and selecting the adapter cable as its MIDI Output Device. If Windows Device Manager and MIDI-OX show the adapter cable connected, but MIDI-OX shows no MIDI data flowing, this usually indicates that your MIDI software (MIDI file player, etc) has not been properly configured. Like Windows Device Manager, MIDI-OX will also show if the adapter cable is actually connecting. If it is showing up in Device Manager, then it is connecting.ДЇor additional testing, I recommend downloading and installing a free testing utility known as MIDI-OX, available from MIDI-OX shows realtime flow of MIDI data through your connection, and is invaluable in isolating problems with your MIDI software (MIDI file player, etc).

If you connect the cable to your computer, and it does not show up under either ' Sound, video, and game controllers' or ' Universal Serial Bus controllers' in Windows Device Manager, then it is not connecting, which could indicate a defective adapter cable. The best digital tester you have, at the moment, is your computer. As a matter of fact, doing so runs the risk of completely destroying an otherwise good device. The USB-MIDI adapter cable you show is a digital device, It can not be tested in any way with a simple battery and ground multi-meter.
