Vista 64-bit compatiable MIDI Interface cable

[-MZ-]

I need something that will connect by MIDI keyboard to my Vista laptop. I'm having troubling finding places to actually buy 1 X 1 MIDI cables compatible with Vista 64-bit. Not even ZZsounds seems to have one that specifically says Vista-64 bit compatible, which is a bit discouraging, considering I've already updated/bought new software for my laptop so I can begin ReMixing again.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

umm.... a midi cable is a midi cable... I very very highly doubt there are ANY that will say they are compatable with anything... its just wires....

What you need is a 64-bit compatible MIDI interface. I didn't know that MIDI interfaces would really need a 64-bit compatibility, i thought they would just be compatible. I feel your pain though... I desperately want to switch my rig to a 64-bit system. What a pain in the ass.

Echo has full Vista x64 support for all their interfaces. Also, most of the USB/Firewire stuff out there is compatible. And you can always get a trusty old Audiophile or Delta 10/10 and do a torrent search for the private beta drivers (which I use with both the 10/10 and Audiophile and they are rock solid).

If you're looking for a standalone MIDI interface and not overall audio interface, you really have no 100% sure options though

That's exactly what I thought when I tried to hook my old MIDI cable up to my new laptop and the correct driver for it. Apparently 64-bit is special.

Oh, in that case I'll probably just invest in a full audio interface. Thanks!

Are you sure that you dont just need an updated driver for the keyboard?

This a MIDI-to-USB cable we're talking about, right, and not just a standard MIDI cable?

This Roland unit says it has a Vista 64 driver that can be downloaded.

See this is the thing... as far as I can tell, he is talking about a standar midi cable, everybody else who responded seemed to assume midi-to-usb
