I just bought a new YAMAHA PORTABLE GRAND. Very kewl for the price and for what it does.

 

I notice that the only MIDI jack it possesses is a USB interface.

 

We started out out with those round "DIN" looking MIDI plugs for so long; then three years ago, my SOUNDBLASTER interfaced with one of those long 12-prong thingees.

 

What gives?

 

Is USB the way of MIDI to come? Is it slower/faster than the DIN-style plugs or the long flat 12-prong thingees?

 

Thanks, ras
