Too bad they don't (as far as I know) make a USB MIDI to real MIDI converter you can just plug in...these MFG need to KEEP the MIDI connectors some of us still want them. Not everyone uses a PC with a KBD. It costs then very little to do,
Hi Lee,
I find it disappointing too that they are dropping the midi sockets, still I was aware the p121 didn’t have them.
I can buy a little box of some sort as an interface, I’ve got them all noted down somewhere. Just haven’t gotten round to it yet.
My laptop works perfectly for time being. Currently not using it for much.
I can also do it via iPad & Bluetooth, don’t know if it’s imagined, but I think I get a touch of latency. Maybe way to go would be a powered USB hub instead of Bluetooth.
That option was mentioned on Yamaha forum.
