This product appears to be identical to the LogiLink Adapter USB to Midi In-Out.
As that product had mixed reviews, I did wonder what the differences might be with the more expensive items and if it would work at all.

Thankfully, when I used this product to connect my old Casio CZ1 to my laptop it worked fine first time. It was nice not to have to instal drivers for this USB device. There was no problem with ordinary recording, playback, note timing, pitch bend, modulation wheel, etc.

Excellent value for money.
Does what is expected of it

I wanted a cable to connect my Yamaha to my mac (10.6.2, iLife 09), so I could use it in GarageBand. I'm very happy to report that this one did exactly what I wanted it to, and worked flawlessly, negating the need to buy the expensive Yamaha cable.
Worked as advertised out the box

I will confess to being a bit dubious about this product at first. There are an awful lot of very expensive midi converters on the market; surely there must be a reason for this? Seemingly not. Plugged it straight into the piano at one end (little midi lights come on to tell me I got it right, which is handy as it is a common error to get the midi cables the wrong way round), plug it into the PC at the other (more little lights to guide you) and my PC (windows 7, if that helps anyone) wakes up and goes "ooh, looks like we need some drivers". So off it romped, found some drivers, and we were away. All without intervention from me.

My music composition software (Sonar) spotted the device straight away and that was that. No noticeable latency (any there might be can be squarely attributed to my sound card) and it's been working reliably ever since. Bingo.

NB since I wrote this review I've replaced my sound card, and this confirmed that this product was not the source of the latency. 6 Months on, its still working well.
Works perfect with XP - Why pay more??

Had bad experience previously with a USB-Midi cable that the PC refused to recognise despite installing the provided drivers. This one worked perfectly without any setup whatsoever. XP recognised it instantly as a "USB MIDI device" and simply selecting "USB midi" in the midi setup of the numerous software packages that I have and it works fine. No hesitation in recommending this.
Cheap, but flawless (so far anyway!)

Plug & play at its best: it just works! Mind you, MIDI isn't the most user-friendly interface in the world (IMO anyway) so it can be a bit hard to tell at first. However once I'd worked out how to drive my software (the freeware version of Acid Express 7, which handles audio and MIDI) everything started to work well.

I'm very pleased with both Digiflex's service, and the product.
