Has anyone tried using one of the cheap "USB Midi Interfaces" say between a keyboard midi din out to Axoloti USB midi in, curious to know if they work or not.. ? 
Cheap USB midi Interface.. does it even work with the Axo?

most likely it will work yes. those cheap midi din to usb adapters are prone to sysex errors however, some have no implementation at all, others simply choke when a bigger package is sent.

Hello everybody! (as it is the first time I write something here.)
Be very careful with these ultra-low priced interfaces.
It's my personal experience: beyond the mentioned problems, one of these "cheapo" caused a lot of audio noises.
Before trashing, I opened it and found... NO OPTOISOLATOR!
A resistor in place... no comment.

I got one of those, but dont really use it:
When I received it, I needed to man handle it, cause there was some plastic residue from production sitting inside the part that you connect to the computer, so it would not connect before I dug that pastic residue out.
Get a lot of stuck notes.
The opto problem can be fixed: http://www.arvydas.co.uk/2013/07/cheap-usb-midi-cable-some-self-assembly-may-be-required/
Not really recommended to be honest.
i got one an m-audio uno usb instead, it works with no issues. It is a bit more expensive, but atleast it works.
