- Many MIDI controllers will send and receive MIDI through USB, eliminating the need for a third-party interface. Older MIDI controllers may use 5-pin DIN cables and require a third-party hardware interface. Connect your controller to your MIDI interface or to your computer’s USB port. Connect external instruments.
- @KalC, This answer was meant more so to address the specifics if the question being about USB and unloading. If this answer, as is, is not adequate to address your specific question, then you should continue to search and or if you can't find an answer specific to your question, then post your question as a new question not as a comment.
The VPC1 is a professional MIDI keyboard controller primarily intended for use with virtual piano software. It features the 'RM3 Grand II' keyboard action, F-30 triple pedal unit, USB and MIDI connectivity, and a specially made software editor.
Class compliant drivers are convenient because you don't have to download any external software. But often manufacturer specific drivers provide added functionality. Let's use Yamaha has an example. Because data transfer on USb is much faster than 5 pin DIN it is possible to have multiple ports of MIDI (a port is a group of 16 MIDI channels) on a single USB cable. The dedicated Yamaha USB Driver provides for 8 ports of high speed USB, includes the names of all the devices that are compatible with the driver and has some routing capabilities. These features are only available if you download the driver from Yamaha's website. Also many audio interfaces are also MIDI interfaces and audio and MIDI travel over the USb cable. So if you purchase a MIDI or Audio interface you should always check the product manual and manufacturer's website to see if there is a dedicated USB driver for your product that provides added functionality. Often even if the manufacturer specific driver is available when connected to a device which don't allow driver downloads into the operating system (for example iOS devices), the product will still work as a class compliant USB device.
