Title: Type of MIDI Breakout Cable needed?
Post by: huron on June 30, 2020, 10:54:38 pm

I bought a used MicroFreak and just realized it didn't come with the MIDI Breakout Cables. I know there's mass confusion with different types and I'm not sure which type I need for the freak. Manual and internet search are no help.

The tip, ring and shield of the 3.5mm jack is connected to the DIN plug as shown here:

Code: [Select]

  3.5mm jack plug:

        |___ __ __
        |___|__|__)
    ____|
          s   r  t

  Looking at the female DIN connector:

         s
    t    o   r

Hi, just to add important detail - it has to be Type A midi cable.
