I just purchased a Roland RS-9 Synthesizer and I cannot make it work
with the MIDI input in my Soundblaster Live Platinum card.
I am connect Midi out on the keyboard to Midi in on the front
connector on the Live Platinum card. No matter what I try, I
do not get audio.
When I go to:

"keyboard", then
"Options", then
"Select Midi in",
it just shows 2 options:
(None) and
SB Live! MIDI UART

I believe I should have more options there, it is as if my computer is not
seeing the keyboard.

Although I tried everything, I have a double Midi cable with a grey and
orange
connectors. I am connecting the keyboard output to the card input and it
does not work. Am I right or should I connect the other cable as well?
Does the color of the connector have any meaning (other than identifying
which is which)?
I am running Windows 2000 in a Pentium 4 1.7Gb with 256 Mb RAM.
Everything else (audio, CD, video, etc.) works perfectly.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
