Recommended use cases
-
Desktop Home Studio: Connection between an audio interface and a controller keyboard located on the same table.
-
Synthesizers and Modules: Link between a master synthesizer and "desktop" type sound modules or effects units.
-
Guitar pedalboards: Interconnection of pedals with MIDI capability (switchers, delays, reverbs) where space is limited and exact length is required.
-
DJ and Live: Connecting MIDI controllers to laptops via compact interfaces in DJ booths.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this cable transmit audio?
No, this is a cable exclusively for MIDI data. It does not transmit sound, but rather note and control information between devices.
-
Is it compatible with older equipment?
Yes, the 5-pin DIN connector has been the industry standard since the 1980s, so it will work perfectly with both vintage and modern equipment.
-
Can it be used to connect a keyboard directly to the computer?
Only if your computer has a sound card with a 5-pin MIDI input. Otherwise, you'll need an intermediate MIDI-USB interface.
-
Does a length of 1 meter affect latency?
Conversely, in analog or digital data transmissions, shorter distances are always preferable to maintain signal integrity, although at 1 meter latency is virtually nonexistent.
