How about a USB MIDI output vs. the Midi Output?

Do you mean by using a MIDI-to-USB adapter?

This isn't possible inside the G2M because the hardware doesn't support USB.

Our i2M musicport does the same as the G2M but has a dedicated USB output (no 5-pin MIDI output, though).

I wanted to plug it in to the USB-midi port on an IOS audio interface....

The Sonuus i2M musicport will connect to an iPad USB interface (using Apple's Camera Connection Kit).

Watch this video and it shows how it is done:

It doesn't work on other iOS devices (iPhone, iPod) because Apple doesn't support USB on these devices for some reason.

So a MIDI-to-USB adapter is useless to me then? Is there anything that will work to let me record on a computer that doesn't have a MIDI input built in?

You can use a USB-MIDI adapter to connect the G2M to a computer via USB.

This was referring to adding a USB connection to the G2M hardware, which currently isn't possible.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. People on another forum have suggested that the problem is probably with the specific adapter that I got (one of the $5 ones on Amazon), so now I just need a way to verify that and then replace it...
