Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable compatible with any keyboard or synthesizer?
Yes, if your device has standard 5-pin MIDI input or output ports (MIDI IN, OUT or THRU), this cable will be fully compatible.
Can I use this cable to power a device via MIDI?
No, the MIDI standard only transmits control and timing data, not electrical power. You will need to power your devices with their respective power supplies.
What is the difference between the 3-pin and 5-pin MIDI connectors?
Although the connector has 5 pins, the original MIDI standard only uses the 3 center pins for data transmission. The other two pins were reserved for future uses that were rarely implemented. This cable adheres to the standard and uses the correct pins for universal compatibility.
Can a length of 3 meters affect the signal?
For MIDI data transmission, a length of 3 meters is well below the maximum recommended length (approximately 15 meters) and will not cause any noticeable degradation or latency in the signal.
