Hi, I use a serial to USV adapter to get my Keynote gold SA to work through a usb connection on my computer. Max. on 12:37 5/09/2007, Matthew Horspool said:

If you have one that does it will work just fine. "... as PC's these days don't come with serial ports anymore that I know of,is there any way to get the DecExpress to work on a new PC?" I doubt it, to be honest. There is a relatively new synthesizer out called the DECtalk USB which is a replacement for the DECtalk Express so you can try that, but I should warn you that if you've used the DEC express you probably won't like the sound of the DEC USB.
