MIDI-to-USB device for original Lead

[ezekiel2517]

I want to hook my LEAD up to a sequencer on my PC. My PC doesn't have a MIDI card, so I want to try a "MIDI-to-USB" devices like one of these:

For those of you with original LEADs, do you just use midi or are these MIDI-to-USB devices a solution? Do you think either of these will work for me with the original LEAD?

Thank you.

I use a MidiMan Midisport 2x2, which works fine, but isn't in production anymore. It is a Midi to USB set up.

is a 2x2 interface required for the lead or would a 1x1 work?

A 1x1 will do!
Beware the Lead doesn't have a Midi Trough!
It has to be the last device in line...

i think i'll go with your 2x2 unit. I see some on ebay right now.

Thanks for your help!
