Since MIDI cables don’t transfer audio, more emphasis should be put on the build quality, reliability, warranty, and secure connection. If you are looking to connect a single MIDI device to a desktop computer, a MIDI to USB interface, like the Hosa USM-422, is a simple and portable solution. When you have multiple MIDI devices, it’s helpful to consider a MIDI interface, which will give you more MIDI ports and added flexibility. Other MIDI cables without all pins wired could not perform the additional functions that require the connection of all five pins. Hosa MIDI cables are wired 5-pin discrete and can therefore be used for any standard MIDI cable function. With a 5-pin discrete cable, all the pins are wired, allowing for any application that requires pins 1 and 3 to transmit something like power. This means pins 1 and 3 aren’t needed and thus not wired. Standard MIDI cables are wired with pins 4 and 5 carrying the current, and pin 2 being used for the shielding to ground the cable. MIDI simplifies commands and is an easy organizational tool for professionals of all types. Whether it’s from a guitar amplifier to a channel switcher, or an electric keyboard to an audio interface, the same cable serves both equally. MIDI is a universally used and recognized format, making the same MIDI cable functional for uses across all corners of musical equipment. That data can then be transferred to a computer and played the same exact way through another MIDI instrument. Every time a musician plays a MIDI instrument, the performance is transmitted into MIDI data. For example, if a chord progression is laid down via MIDI, those same chords’ notes, velocity, vibrato, panning, tempo, and pitch can be transmitted to an instrument that has MIDI capabilities. MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, isn’t a sound or instrument, it carries digital instructions to recreate the music.
