Members geospector Posted September 16, 2010 Members Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi,I am considering purchasing an Akai Ewi USB. The ewi is powered by the usb cable connected to a computer. I'd like to connect the ewi to a midi keyboard. I have not been able to find a usb to midi interface that supplies power. All I have found are usb bus powered interfaces. Does anyone know of a powered usb midi interface? Would a powered usb hub and a usb bus powered midi interface work? (I don't know if the power goes out both sides of a powered usb hub.) My first choice is a powered usb midi interface. Thanks,George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
