I bought an M-Audio Keystation to control some stuff via MIDI (the old DIN style) stuff I am using or plan to acquire. I can't seem to get an answer from M-Audio direct, so I thought I'd ask it here. The question: Can you run the Keystation getting it's power from a USB wallwort (charger) instead of a old style 9vdc power adapater AND still use the 5 pin MIDI port? Seems like a simple Yes or No would have sufficed from M-Audio :-) Anyways, if anyone has tried this, feel free to share.
