I'm shopping for a new midi interface to use with Cubase SX on a Laptop. My external gear consists of a DSI Evolver and a PCR-50 keyboard (The PCR can be connected via USB however). Basically I want a 2inx 2out in case I buy another module somewhere down the line.
I'm a little weary because of what I've heard about USB & Midi. I found a MOTU (pocket express) that connects via serial/parallel port which has me very curious. Anyone have experience with serial port midi interfaces or should I be looking at USB?

Midi Interfaces anyone?

MOTu MIDI drivers and Windows 2k based systems(including XP)have been known to have issues-maybe that's changed,though.
I use a USB interface(a Midisport 8x8)without any timing glitches or anything like that.The important thing is to make sure that the USB ports are always getting power;the hubs shut down in XP to conserve power by default.
Go into device manager,and right click each root hub.Under properties/power management,uncheck everything.
