Thus, I'm inclined to conclude that older Yamaha models originally designed to work with 16-bit USB-MIDI drivers cannot work with 64-bit Windows computers without using some kind of workaround- e.g., a virtual 32-bit system running on the 64-bit Windows computer.Ī quick background first - I've been a professional (classical) composer for 35+ years, and have used MIDI practically since it started, though now almost entirely to connect a keyboard with Sibelius software so that I can input data to create printed music. That would be pretty odd if it were true, because USB 2.0 came out in 2000 and the YPT-400 came out in 2006, so if there was a problem with using USB 2.0 then I'd expect the Owner's Manual to say something about it. My computers don't have USB 3.0 ports, and I don't have any USB 3.0 cables, but the YPT-400 Owner's Manual doesn't say anything about what version of USB to use, so for all I know it works with USB 1.0 or 1.1, but not 2.0.
When they plugged it into a USB 2.0 port instead, the computer could 'see' the MIDI device. I've heard of people connecting their MIDI keyboards to an audio interface, then connecting the audio interface to their computer, but their computer couldn't 'see' the MIDI device, and it turned out that they were plugging the audio interface into a USB 3.0 port. If the problem has nothing to do with 16-bit/32-bit/64-bit architecture of hardware and software, then about the only other thing I can think of is that it could be an issue with USB.
