...where the driver comes from...




The good plain MIDI adapters are detected automatically and drivers are installed by Windows, as Mac says. I think that's better than using proprietary drivers, because class-compliant devices don't leave you high and dry when a new Windows version comes along, and the manufacturer ceases to support last year's interface.

The expensive ($40) MIDI-USB interfaces are more durable than cheap ones, but junky-looking $6 ones from eBay work every bit as well, at least until you step on the crackly part.
