radias 9 pin mini din replacement cable???

Post by dtray187 »

So I lost my mini din cable, ordered a new one and it isnt transmitting any info.
Does the radias only work with korg mini din cables, or did I just get a bad cable?

I believe i have a faulty cable as well. Have contacted the local Korg dealer and they have told me that they do not carry it and have told me to get it from a third party cable shops.

does yours work out in the end?

The local dealer will need to "order" it from korg.....

I got one 2 months ago ... it took 2 weeks to order from Korg Canada...
unfortunately.... longer ones don't exist.... I would kill for a 6 or 9 foot version for rackmounting as the 9 pin doesnt eat up a midi input...

i had to make my own by cutting in to my original cable and splicing in a chunk of printer cable to make the extention... :oops:

Ok I will tell you who do you have to kill.... later :D

If you think you can assemble your own cable, here some links that may help:

http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSea ... CP-2190-ND

Since I'm not home I can't verify if the connector has the same pinning, but it's the only mini-DIN found with 9 contacts and should fit. A look at the data sheet shows how they are assembled.

Where to buy a 9 pin mini din cable for Korg M3,etc.

Post by montyg4boy »

The part number for the 9 pin mini din cable is 500475103752. If you call Korg(631.390.8737) they dont sell it but will direct you to a distributer called "Parts is Parts". Thier number is 802.365.7257. Give them the part number and place a order which comes in 2-3 business days. The cord is $15.00 plus $4.00 for shipping with a total of $19.00.

Hi X-Trade!

Can you please elaborate or explain this a bit further?

The M3-88 RH3 is quite a nice keyboard and i would love to natively play other midi-devices with it.

Thank you
