Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install drivers for this cable?

No. LEKATO builds it as a USB MIDI Class Compliant device, so Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android recognize it on plug-in with no driver disc or download.

Will it work with my iPad?

Yes. LEKATO lists iOS compatibility, though an iPad connection uses a standard adapter on the USB-C end. No special driver is required once connected.

How long is the cable?

6.5 feet, long enough to reach a keyboard stand from a desk while still coiling into a gig bag.

Does it support all 16 MIDI channels?

Yes. The 1-In and 1-Out MIDI-DIN ports each carry the full 16 channels, so you can address a multitimbral synth or several instruments from one controller.

Does it need external power?

No. The cable is USB bus powered and draws everything it needs from the computer port, so there is no power brick or battery.
