It's appears that iConnectivity did a firmware update to address Yamaha's lack of Class Compliant USB: Kinda sucks to have such limited options for a board at this price point. While the older iConnectMidi could somehow allow this, the Kenton device does not - explicitly stated on their website.ДOH! My bad - thanks for pointing that out.

Yamaha USB drivers are not class-compliant which means they need to OS-specific installations on the 'host' device. NOTE: this will NOT let the Yamaha P105 connect to a 5-pin MIDI keyboard. looks promising for those wanting to add standard MIDI to a USB-only keyboard.ДЄlready mentioned a few posts above. I was also recently made aware of this device.

I have a feeling the P105 will be pretty popular and we will have some people here and other forums asking how to MIDI it to other keyboards.

your USB keyboard will have to connect to the USB-A connector on iCM or iCM4+ (not USB-B connector) because your USB keyboard will have a USB-B connector and you can't connect USB-B to USB-B, you must connect USB-B to USB-A. The upcoming iConnectMIDI2+ cannot host USB keyboards, so it would be unable to achieve this. Yes, the original iConnectMIDI and the upcoming iConnectMIDI4+ can do this. I emailed iConnectivty to ask if any of their products could be used without a computer. Thanks for the heads-up is there a link to the source of your info? But it does look like you're right, the 'host' port is missing on the 2+. the Iconnectivity IconnectMidi2 shown in the picture will NOT work without computer.ДЇor use without a computer you need the original iConnectMIDI which is out of production. or do you need to hook both the P-105 and iConnect to a computer to get it to work? Now how would the iConnectMIDI device work? Do you use a USB B to USB B cable to hook the iConnect to the P105 so they can connect directly. I was very confused with the different adapters and how the Roland would work. With the P-105, the aforementioned iConnectMidi device is the only one which will help the OP. Unlike Casio, Yamaha boards are typically not class-compliant otherwise a Kenton USB-Host or perhaps a Keith McMillan Expander might work. This warning deserves to be repeated in big, bold letters:ДЄ USB-MIDI interface like the Roland Um-One will NOT let you connect a keyboard with USB port to one with 5-pin MIDI.ДЄnd the shape of the connector - square or rectangle - is hardly the all-important deciding factor here ( ) - when you can get an adaptor for $1.43 - klonk here. The GHS is identical to the MOX and P-95, there are not different production runs or versions of the same GHS. The P-105 requires a USB A-B cable to connect to a computer. The only interface that works to connect to another midi keyboard is the aforementioned iconnectivity. It's for connecting a midi keyboard that doesn't have USB to a computer. Yea, that Roland interface is not gonna work with the P-105.
