If you need a quality, low-cost MIDI cable, check out Hosa Technologies' MIDI to MIDI Standard Cable. With a dense spiral copper shield to block interference and nickel-plated connector pins for precise data transfer, the MIDI to MIDI Standard Cable is an inexpensive option for connecting your MIDI-compliant devices.
• Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)
The MIDI protocol allows communication between a computer and a digital synthesizer (keyboard, drum machine, etc.) by transmitting how the notes are to be produced. For example, commands like note-on, note-off, pitch-shift, and tempo create much smaller files and more realistic music, relying on the synthesizer to create the basic tones.
• Discreet 5-Pin Connectors
Each of the five pins on the connectors of these MIDI cables are wired to support all MIDI functions, including uploading and downloading data and relaying SysEx information.
• Cost-Conscious Design
The injection-molded connector bodies with built-in strain relief are rugged and dependable, and the stranded copper conductors are surrounded by a dense copper shield to ensure long life and interference-resistant data transfer.
• Colors and Lengths
These cables are available in black, red, white, blue and orange, allowing for more options when using multiple devices. In addition, Hosa makes their cables in a variety of lengths to suit virtually any application.
