![]() ![]() Many newer controllers only have USB, which they use for both power and MIDI. ![]() Like rubes, we used to use these clunky 5-pin DIN cables to carry MIDI, but now the slick way to do it is MIDI over USB. MIDI is a protocol that musical instrument controllers like keyboards, keytars, electronic wind instruments, or any old thing can use to talk to devices that produce sound - such as other keyboards with built-in sounds, synthesizers, computers, etc. However, the way I did it is perhaps different enough to be worth sharing, or maybe someone knows a better way to do this now and will school me. I'm not the first to do this - I think it was first hacked by my secret idol, the famous Collin Cunningham, back in 2010. This project allows sending MIDI signals from a USB-only keyboard or controller to a device that only has 5-pin MIDI IN.
