I recently had to buy a 1 in 1 out midiman pc card interface because my opcode studio 64x would not work with the editing software for my Nord Modular. At Guitar Center they offered me a USB interface but I knew nothing of the quality or if my system supported it. I checked my computer and it is USB ready, and I was wondering if the performance of USB exceeds serial interfaces. Is the timing better, and does clock and smpte lock up well? I plan to sell the 64x and buy a new multi-port. Can you chain USB togther?

I have an Opcode MIDIport 32 2x2 usb interface that I purchased on ebay. That may have been a mistake. It worked fine for a few days, although I am brand new to MIDI sequencing and I didn't really know what I was doing before this thing shit on me. It recieves no power and my PC no longer recognizes it. My usb's are working fine for other hardware. The original owner did not register the port so I got no response from Opcode (I heard they were bought out). Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for me.

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.Try unplugging the interface uninstall the drivers make sure you delete all the appropriate files then plug the interface back in reboot and then use the add new hardware wizard in the control panel to reinstall the drivers for it.Have you checked if there are more recent drivers available on the net most manufacturers generally have a driver section on their sites where you can download the latest drivers.Hope it works out for you.

If it's not receiving power, check your USB cabling, and check the port with another USB device to rule out problems with the PC/cable.
