You can send MIDI data both ways, so you only need one cable for both MIDI In and MIDI out.Ī USB connection has much higher bandwidth than a DIN-MIDI connection, which means that instead of each cable having just one physical port with 16 channels, a single USB cable can support 16 virtual MIDI ports each with 16 channels, for a total of 256 MIDI channels down one cable! Using a USB-DAW MIDI connection has several advantages: Even though it’s no longer used for hi-fi any more, you will still see ports like this on nearly every piece of MIDI gear. These cables became obsolete in the 1980s, and when MIDI was invented in 1983 many Japanese manufacturers had lots of back stock of them that they needed to get rid of, so they decided to make that the first MIDI cable standard. Those cables with the round 5 pin connectors (officially called DIN 41524 connectors) were originally used as hi-fi cables way back in the 1970s. There are four ways that MIDI can be transmitted using an iConnectivity interface: MIDI is like an electronic version of that. The conductor doesn’t make any sound by their self, but they send signals to all of the other members of the orchestra that tell them what to play, when to play, and what expression to use while playing. In this sense it works like the conductor of an orchestra. It’s important to realise that MIDI doesn’t contain any actual sound itself, it’s simply instructions for how other instruments should create sound. It consists of a set of digital signals that are used for controlling and playing electronic musical instruments.
