 Very pleased October 25, 2008
Ordered the X-midi 1X1 with standard shipping, and it showed up the next day! Loaded the software, and was playing music within 10 minutes. As noted elsewhere, the MIDI cables are quite thin, but the unit is smaller than other interfaces and stores easily in my laptop case. Very satisfied with the product.
yep, worked great! October 2, 2008

surprised to find it actually worked with an old Casiotone MT-600 keyboard from like the 80s I found at a Goodwill. using XP sp2 and an old version of ACID Pro (4.0), very easy to set up. no problems.
and looking at other reviews, some people talk about how the whole input-output thing can be confusing, but these cables are pretty standard as far as interfaces go. most cables you buy will be like this -- the cables labeled "MIDI in" actually plug into your keyboard's "out" (and vice-versa). the directions enclosed are very clear, so if you follow them, you'll be fine.

On a quest to turn my synthesizer into a midi controller for VST instruments in Acid Pro 6.0, I found this little gadget (and if you don't know what that means, you probably don't need this).
First off, Acid won't recognize the hardware without the drivers, and the included software refuses to install on a pc running Windows Vista. On the bright side, E-MU has a patch on their website under support that WILL work with Vista. After installing that, everything ran perfectly for me.
The cord's a bit short and won't wrap behind my desk, so I ordered a usb extension to avoid having to unplug it all the time. E-MU should figure out that in a home studio with speakers, guitars, and such, not every piece of equipment can get shoved into the same corner.
Yes, the midi plugs are labelled backwards. Or perhaps not, depending on how you think about it. Arrows to indicate data flow direction might have been helpful.
PROS:
Low price compared to fancier, muti-track midi converters.
Does what it says.
No noticable delay or lag, great for live recording.
CONS:
Requires patch for Vista.
Cord is only about 8 feet long.
Midi plug labels might be confusing: in = out, out = in?
