The only solution for this is to power it with a dc power supply and connect midi through the standard midi out to your hardware or to a computer using a usb interface. I had the uf5, and had to do this. Then just recently bought a used uf7, that even came with the cd rom with the drivers, but the installation failed (windows 10), even trying it in compatibility mode. You could try powering it with the usb cable, but then doing so bypasses the standard midi out port and you will not be able to send midi. Kinda sucks, because these are very nice keyboards.

I had to do this too (when I used my UF5, which is now in the closet). BTW, this is a 3-year old thread.
Hi, Thanks very much for your favorite and support for CME product.I’m sorry to take you in the trouble and make you wait. Let me explain why we don’t have new USB driver by now.Due to development earlier,the UF BIN has something incompatible,and the bin can’t be updated.So it is very hard to do the new driver.In a word,due to the technical reasons,we can’t do the new driver,not we don’t want to do.Hope you can undersand.Thanks very much. Because the UF is developed in 2004.In that time,there is no class-compliant driver specification of USB device,and Intel Mac is the newest OSSo Manufacturers can’t guarantee the compatibility before the operating.And UF v1 is stopped production in 2006,there is no newer OS than Intel Mac,too.So there is no newer USB driver. I mean you can use MIDI connection to let UF work again.Any MIDI interface is all right.Or if your sound card has MIDI port,it also can work. I’m sorry I can’t get your wish.Hope you can kindly understand. Regarding the vista driver of UF, I have a officious version driver. If you like, you can send me a mail(wma@centrmus.com).
In that I can send it to you. Regarding NANO, as I remember, it should be installed inside of UF. And you can change the programme of Nano by UF. Hi, I also have and UF7 keyboard which i love except for the missing 64bit driver (and the “Timing Clock” and “Active Sensing” as named by MIDI-OX, which crash reaper). The vista driver you are talking about, is it 64 bit? Is it an official one?
Or is it the 1.05 with modified inf which can also be found on the internet? I do not really understand your explanation about 64 bit driver missing.
What is a “bin”?, do you mean the binary/firmware file meant to program the micro-controller in the keyboard? If so, maybe would it be possible to program the chip directly from outside the usb?(with a programmer like JTAG, pickit or similar).
I also understand that this bin would turn the cme usb interface in a class compliant device, but if it is really not possible, why not provide the non class compliant 64bit driver. And if you also cannot do that, why not at least please release the driver source so maybe someone could modify it and built it for 64bit.
As a side-note: while trying to find myself a solution i also noticed the same VID7104&PID2202 is used by Miditech Midistart-2 (which seem to have xp 64bit driver, much toysh keyboard btw). That also mean Midistart-2 driver can be installed for uf, but not working. Just as a curiosity, do you know if they share the same micro-controller?
