Review: Cable color is important!!! - I correctly ordered the Blue cable after first making the mistake of ordering the red cable not realizing there is a major difference, and it’s not just for looks! I needed this to connect my Korg NTS-1 to a midi controller, but first ordered the red one thinking that the color red would match the color of the rest of my equipment. Boy was I wrong! Got everything connected and nothing seemed to work. After then reading a number of other reviews I realized that the red cable has the opposite polarity and does not work with Korg products, the BLUE cable is the one which I should have ordered and is designed to work with Korg products. When the BLUE cable arrived, I plugged it in and everything instantly worked perfectly! Good product! Works the way it should! Pay attention to which color works with the product you plan to use it for! Review: This Type A cable works with Jackson Audio Golden Boy - The seller also has a red version of what seems like the same cable. They are not the same though, as the red one is Type B and the blue one is Type A. The red one did not work with the Jackson Audio Golden Boy, but this blue one DOES work. You will also need a stereo 1/8" to 1/4" adapter though. I tried to find one that had MIDI to 1/4" and was Type A, but I just gave up and got this one. I already had the adapter. By the way, this cable also works with Torpedo Captor X. ## Features - Midi (5 Pin DIN) Female to 3.5 mm (1/8") TRS Male Cable - Type A Compatible with - Akai MPC Studio, MPC Touch, & MPX8 - Korg Electribe 2, NTS1, SQ1 - Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 (Not MK2) - Full list of compatible hardware below ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08WHSP7ZL | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,239 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #61 in MIDI Cables | | Brand | ZAWDIO | | Brand Name | ZAWDIO | | Cable Type | MIDI | | Color | Black Blue | | Compatible Devices | Akai MPC Studio, MPC Touch, MPX8, Korg Electribe 2, NTS1, SQ1, Novation Launchpad Pro MK3, Line-6 Mobilizer, Littlebits - MIDI Module, and others listed in the 'title' and 'bullet_point' fields Compatible Devices Akai MPC Studio, MPC Touch, MPX8, Korg Electribe 2, NTS1, SQ1, Novation Launchpad Pro MK3, Line-6 Mobilizer, Littlebits - MIDI Module, and others listed in the 'title' and 'bullet_point' fields See more | | Connectivity Technology | MIDI | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Connector Type | 3.5mm Trs Midi 5 Pin Din | | Customer Package Type | Sealed anti-static bag or comparable packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 183 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 31250 bits_per_second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00716988700602 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Length | 20 centimeters | | Item Shape | Round | | Manufacturer | Zawdio | | Model | ZAW_MIDI_003 | | Model Name | ZAW_MIDI_003 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 5 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Braided | | Part Number | ZAW_MIDI_003 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Connecting MIDI devices with 5-pin DIN connectors to other devices with 3.5mm TRS inputs for musical performances and productions Recommended Uses For Product Connecting MIDI devices with 5-pin DIN connectors to other devices with 3.5mm TRS inputs for musical performances and productions See more | | Special Feature | Braided | | Specification Met | Midi Compliance | | UPC | 716988700602 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ZAWDIO - **Cable Type:** MIDI - **Connector Type:** 3.5mm Trs Midi 5 Pin Din - **Special Feature:** Braided ## Images ![MIDI to 3.5mm Breakout Cable for - Akai, Korg, Line6, LittleBits - Midi Female to TRS 3.5mm Male - MPC Studio,Touch, MPX8, Electribe 2,SQ-1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514EjCVnn+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cable color is important!!! *by J***K on April 29, 2024* I correctly ordered the Blue cable after first making the mistake of ordering the red cable not realizing there is a major difference, and it’s not just for looks!

Be certain that your TRS midi device is type A, as there are two "standards," A and B. ## Frequently Bought Together - ZAWDIO - MIDI to 3.5mm Breakout Cable for - Akai, Korg, Line6, LittleBits - Midi Female to TRS 3.5mm Male - MPC Studio,Touch, MPX8, Electribe 2,SQ-1 - ZAWDIO - MIDI to TRS 3.5mm Breakout Cable Adapter for: Arturia, Novation, 1010music - MX4, Beatstep Pro, Keystep, Circuit, Launchpad Pro MK2 - Mellbree MIDI Cable, 2-Pack 3-Feet Male to Male 5-Pin MIDI Cable Compatible with MIDI Keyboard, Keyboard Synth, Rack Synth, Sampler, External Sound Card, Sound Source and Other Music Gear --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/304406218-midi-to-3-5mm-breakout-cable-for-akai-korg-line6](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/304406218-midi-to-3-5mm-breakout-cable-for-akai-korg-line6) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
