USB to MIDI Cable Help!

KhannarMurr

Howiya's,

Right so this is the situation.

I'm using Cubase SX. I play guitar n' write songs with Guitar Pro 4. When I'm happy with the song I export the drum track, import it to Cubase and then record the guitars, vocals etc...

Or at least I would if the drums didn't sounds like poo!!

The VST drums I've downloaded don't seem to sound that good either.
I have this (http://store.drumbum.com/media/yamaha-drum-machine-7pc.jpg) drum machine, it has MIDI out on it.

I was wondering, coz the sounds on this are perfect (for me :pac:), could I use a USB to Midi cable and get Cubase to use the midi sounds from the drum machine on the imported drum track???

(I know the cable is used mainly to turn midi instruments into triggers for sounds on a pc, I'm basically wondering is the opposite is possible)

Thanks in advance...

totally possible - you'll need one of these if you cant do it with your soundcard.

I have that one above and have no problems with it, have plugged an old keyboard into my mac and running it through ableton and works no problem whatsoever, and affordable too me thinks!
