MIDI DIN 9 Pin to standard MIDI 5 pin

Post by sanning »

Hi,

Does anyone know how to convert Midi 9 pin to Midi 5 pin, is it even possible with the way the M3/Radias keyboards are setup? I want to feed them into a different rack module via standard midi.

Thanks!! :D

The 9-pin cable between the Korg Radias rack and the RDKB keyboard is not strictly MIDI, and it also supplies power to the dedicated keyboard. Use the 5-pin MIDI Out connector to feed MIDI to the MIDI In on another rack module, and use the MIDI Thru on that module to daisy chain to the MIDI In on further rack modules. Alternatively, use a MIDI switcher to get more flexibility in the setup.
