The keyboard is called the Melodian. It looks like a straight controller type with no built in sounds. I want to use it as a controller for my Mega with Notator. Can't afford anything else right now. Is there a way I can convert this serial connector to see if it will interface with a midi cable? I'd imagine it would be a midi out that goes into the Mega while the Mega sends a midi out to my midi module. Typically like the Roland low end shell controllers. Thanks in advance Hallvard (smile). I will try and post at the Comp Sys Group as well.
