First post to PJRC forum, and wow this is an active community! Terrific!
I am using a Teensy 2.0 as a MIDI to CV device, so I can use my iPad or computer to drive multiple CV inputs on my analog synthesizer. It has been working great (couldn't have been easier with Teensy's usbMIDI commands), and there are some great sequencer iPad apps out there I can now use to drive my synth. Cool!
I would like to connect it to my keyboard as well, which has a USB MIDI output. However, it has a female USB Type B port. Since the Teensy USB input is also Type B, and standard cables are Type A to Type B, I have a problem.
I don't need power. I'm already driving the Teensy with a separate power source, and have cut the 5V pads apart on the bottom of the device.
My question: Can I simply buy a USB B to A adapter, and plug the Teensy into the keyboard? Will the Teensy then receive MIDI messages from the keyboard? Or are there any other pitfalls I might want to know about.
