E-MU's Xmidi 1x1 is a plug-and-play USB MIDI Interface that adds an ultra-fast MIDI input and output (16 MIDI channels in/out) to your computer. The Xmidi 1x1 is bus-powered for total portability and offers status indicators for input signal, output signal and power.

Summary: yep, worked great!
Comment: surprised to find it actually worked with an old Casiotone MT-600 keyboard from like the 80s I found at a Goodwill. using XP sp2 and an old version of ACID Pro (4.0), very easy to set up. no problems.

and looking at other reviews, some people talk about how the whole input-output thing can be confusing, but these cables are pretty standard as far as interfaces go. most cables you buy will be like this -- the cables labeled "MIDI in" actually plug into your keyboard's "out" (and vice-versa). the directions enclosed are very clear, so if you follow them, you'll be fine.

Summary: Works Great, Some Tinkering Required
Comment: On a quest to turn my synthesizer into a midi controller for VST instruments in Acid Pro 6.0, I found this little gadget (and if you don't know what that means, you probably don't need this).

First off, Acid won't recognize the hardware without the drivers, and the included software refuses to install on a pc running Windows Vista. On the bright side, E-MU has a patch on their website under support that WILL work with Vista. After installing that, everything ran perfectly for me.

The cord's a bit short and won't wrap behind my desk, so I ordered a usb extension to avoid having to unplug it all the time. E-MU should figure out that in a home studio with speakers, guitars, and such, not every piece of equipment can get shoved into the same corner.

Yes, the midi plugs are labelled backwards. Or perhaps not, depending on how you think about it. Arrows to indicate data flow direction might have been helpful.

PROS:
Low price compared to fancier, muti-track midi converters.
Does what it says.
No noticable delay or lag, great for live recording.

CONS:
Requires patch for Vista.
Cord is only about 8 feet long.
Midi plug labels might be confusing: in = out, out = in?

Summary: E-MU does it again
Comment: My previous MIDI interface, in the early Nineties, was through my soundcard's gamepad/serial port. After years in mothballs, I recently reassembled my equipment but couldn't get around the problem of latency with my MIDI wind-controller. I had read that USB was the norm with MIDI these days and so decided upon E-MU after reading several positive on-line reviews and factoring in cost.

The E-MU Xmidi 1x1 interface arrived in record time and was a snap to install. Now that I hear the difference in signal response from the 'old days' I'm very happy indeed. I also like that the lights in the unit tell when MIDI signal is passing through the device. It's makes troubleshooting a breeze. All-in-all, a great product that does it's job well.
