Hell with midi....
I just recently purchased a Roland GK-2A with the hopes of plugging straight into my computer. I have everything I need as far as the computer side of things go (USB midi port, software, etc., etc.) but I soon found -- to my disappointment -- that the GK-2A uses a 13pin din instead of the standard 5 pin midi... I contacted Roland and apparently there is nada I can do but find a GI-10 midi controller (which is discontinued and is virtually impossible to find) or spend all sorts of money on their guitar synths ($800++) when I really have no use for it (I'm quite content with what I have setup on my computer). When I originally called Roland, the tech support guy said he didn't really have a clue and that I'd have to talk to someone in sales, which seemed a bit funny to me; I'm thinkin' the sales guy (overeager sales guy I might add) was just trying to upsale me, there _has_ to be an easy way to do this. Anyone hav any ideas?
