Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get two cables or just one?

Two. This is a 2-pack of 6-foot 5-pin DIN MIDI cables, which lets you run one to MIDI IN and one to MIDI OUT on the same instrument.

Will this work with my Korg Volca or Behringer FCB1010?

Yes. Cable Matters lists the Korg Volca Sample, Behringer FCB1010 foot controller, and the Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 interface among supported devices, since all use standard 5-pin DIN MIDI.

Is this a straight-through cable or a crossover?

Straight-through. It is male-to-male 5-pin DIN to 5-pin DIN with the standard 180-degree pin layout, wired pin-to-pin for standard MIDI equipment.

How long is each cable?

Each of the two cables is 6 feet, long enough to reach from a desktop synth to a nearby interface and flexible enough to coil for storage or transport.

Can I use this to connect a MIDI keyboard to my computer?

Only through a MIDI interface. This is a 5-pin DIN to 5-pin DIN cable, so your computer needs a MIDI audio interface box such as the Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 - it does not terminate in USB.
