Good USB2 <> MIDI interface for Windows 7 64-bit?

[GM Arts]

Anyone know of a good USB2 <> MIDI interface for Windows 7 64-bit? I only really need 1 X MIDI in/out , no audio.

My trusty old Edirol USB1 <> MIDI interface has worked fine with 32-bit Windows 7, but now I’ve upgraded to 64-bit it’s completely lost the plot. Drivers are reported to be unreliable with 64-bit, also for the other interface I have, an M-Audio Uno.

So if you’re using Windows 7 64-bit, and have a reliable USB <> MIDI interface, I’d love to hear about it.

btw, I found another thread listing working/non-working interfaces, but it's very old and mostly relates to Macs and 32-bit OS's.

Focusrite Scarlett works fine for me. It's around $150 USD.

Cheaper you've got Roland UM-1G (now called UM one mkII) : Roland UM-One MkII - Thomann UK

Avoid Presonus, there are definitely bad bugs in MIDI with axefx ! I own one...

I have a Presonus Studio live 16.2 Mixer. Works perfect without Problems. Ok, it's FireWire ...

I have a presonus FireStudio and it didnt work ok with AxeFX gen1, neither my older FireProject... both firewire

thanks all, I'll follow up on a couple of those

This is definitely for USB, but surprisingly not for the Axe-FX which has it's own excellent USB interface. I use this to test firmware updates on my own MIDI footcontroller.
