Hi!
Im 20 years old and I thought I would make good use of my old Roland ep. 75 keyboard, so I bought a MIDI USB adapter, and I plugged it into Ableton, but its not working very well. The adapter constantly detects a signal, and when i hit keys on the keyboard the software wont detect everything, and when it does, it detects it constantly, like the key is being pushed all the time. Please help me out!

Sadly, the very inexpensive MIDI/USB adaptors often have problems.
There are many reports here and elesewhere of such problems.
The thing to do is to buy an adaptor from a company with a good reputation, but it will cost you a bit more.

I don't personally use such an adaptor so unfortunately I'm not in a position to recommend one.
Perhaps someone else can advise?

Another user had very recently similar prioblems and asked a question in this forum, but there was not more feedback from him. My recommendations were:

* Roland UM-ONE
* M-AUDIO UNO
* iConnectivity mio
