popsteric Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 hello, I'm pretty new to MIDI, but since I recently bought a KORG Volca Keys unit, I was wondering if I could use my Toneport KB37 as the MIDI controller for this device without first going through a computer? I'm asking because in all the forums and manuals it always mentions going through a computer, and of course the kb37 does not have the MIDI DIN connector. if I get a USB-MIDI converter cable (or SPDIF-MIDI??), can I just plug the kb37 into the Volca and have it work? what kind of cable do I need, in case it needs a special cable? and, you know: just all the other silly noob questions about (this) midi setup that you can think of... ;) thanks, Eric. PS: this is a video of the KORG Volca Keys with a midi keyboard setup, I'm looking for something similar, but with the KB37 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVTm0mT53fU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonpike Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Since it is usb, you need more than a usb-midi interface, you need a usb *host*. If you buy one of those, it might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
