        <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently updated the firmware on my Alesis DM5. The update has been around for ages, but I didn&amp;rsquo;t have the interface between the DM5 and my PC. I was in limbo about it all - I was looking at the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MIDISPORT2x2.html&#34;&gt;Midiman Midisport 2×2&lt;/a&gt; but I felt a bit aggrieved spending some thirty quid on something I was likely to use once. (I already have a M-Audio Pro 44 keyboard that hooks the kit in to my PC.) I finally bit the bullet and trusty old eBay turns up a nice and cheap &lt;a href=&#34;http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&amp;amp;_trksid=m38&amp;amp;_nkw=UK+USB+MIDI+Interface&#34;&gt;USB Midi interface&lt;/a&gt; - I was dubious about something for £0.98 - whether it would really work.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
