Hi. Thanks for files link. I have got a creative key mp3, but i haven't cable or connecting devices. What can i do for connecting to computer.which cable i have to find for connection.

I've had an old Blasterkey MP3 sitting around for years and using this forum started converting it to work as a stand-alone MIDI keyboard. After watching the videos, and reading comments I realized all it needed was power and the MIDI OUT pin connected to the MIDI IN pin on the male game port on the back of the keyboard. I started connecting the three +5 volt pins together, but decided it may not be necessary. (On my keyboard pins 1 and 8 are connected, but I don't think that is required.) Here is the simplest version I think will work:

Pin 5 ground
Pin 8 +5 volts current limited by a 220Ω resistor (possibly also connected to pin 1)
Pin 12 connected to Pin 15

Then just connect a standard MIDI cable to the MIDI OUT on the keyboard.

This works because the MIDI port on the keyboard is a pass-thru. So the output of the keyboard is being routed to the input so it can pass thru to the existing MIDI port.

Beautiful in it's simplicity.

I've tried the "simplest version" above. It was very helpful. Maybe I would need some aging, but it works so far so good! Thanks
