[LAU] USB-MIDI Controller Issues

Hello all, I recently left my church and since they needed a hardware synth more than me I gave them my Roland XP-30. I needed a controller still so I picked up an old Evolution MK-149 for crazy cheap. When I got it I plugged it into my studio machine that has a M-Audio Delta1010lt and it worked flawlessly. So I ordered a super cheap USB midi cable<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017H4EBG/sr=8-1/qid=1299703370/… Amazon to hook it up to my laptop. The midi cable is plug and play and while I still had the Roland XP-30 I hooked it up and tested it and it worked without issue. However, when I try to use it with the Evolution MK-149 I got strange unusable behavior. If playing the same not it would play 50% of the not properly and not send a midi off 10%. It would also play a wrong note 5% of the time and drop about 50% of the notes. I hooked it up to qmidiroute and confirmed that the midi messages themselves are getting messed up. Does anyone have any advice for tracking down what the issue is/how to correct it? It's strange that this combination of hardware doesn't work. I may hook up my electronic drum kit to test it further. Thanks in advance, Daniel Worth Host The Open Source Musician Podcast http://opensourcemusician.com
