Questions & Answers

A comparison between 2 outputs and 1 output of a midi device. For example, if I bought 1 midi cord, would it have an impact on my recording into the DAW?

A single cable will allow you to record midi into your DAW, but you will not be able to send anything from your sequencer to your The first MIDI cable (or the other way around) is a 1-pin cable You're making progress. The MIDI port on some controllers is actually the only MIDI port, so you'd be okay with it. A few examples are as follows You can use your mobile device if you have an iPhone Using the audio keystation or someone else's device like that, you can track the input into your DAW with just one cable. There are two cables you will need if you use a midi synth and want to be able to track it into your DAW, and then play back from the DAW through the synth.

My drum machine (alesis sr 16) can be connected to the stereo with this? MIDI connectors are unavailable on the drum machine that I purchased off of eBay. ?

It will not work with a stereo if you use that cable. There may be circumstances where you need RCA or 1/4" cables or 1/8" cables. Depending on your stero's connections and the unit, you could have a problem.

Knowing Thyself is the key to becoming a synth wizard! Let me tell you if you need a 1' midi cable, you are a real synthesizer
5/5

It is likely that he is a synth wizard or at the very least an adept close to wizarddom. In these days of technological advances, midi cables are becoming a dying art. Luckily Hosa still crafts these gorgeous artisan midi cables in elegant black vinyl, one foot long for the synth wizard to use. Calling a guitar sinner and asking for a 1 ft midi cable may result in getting some aux cord poser on the phone who answers "nobody makes a 1 ft midi cable" and you might have to refrain from insulting his parents. The wizard won't be offended by this cable this cable works great. Order yours.

There is nothing to worry about
4/5

The feel of the cable is lower quality than a Monoprice cable with similar prices. It won't make much difference if this is for permanent studio installation only, as once it's plugged in for the first time, you won't even notice the difference. * If you set up and tear down your rig often, get the Monoprice. Every time I set up, I think, "What a lovely cable, I love it. ". If I plug in the Hosa cable, I think, "I hate it!". "That is the last of them I will purchase. ".

I had planned to coil this long run midi cable, however it was folded instead
4/5

My point is, I know this is a standard complaint, but manufacturers of cables should be aware that wrapping a cable back and forth is not the proper way to package it.
I'm willing to pay a little bit more to do it right, but it may be cheaper to do it wrong. They would have to spend 2 cents for it to be done properly. The cable I just bought wraps around a can after it is heated with a hair dryer and then allows it to cool so that it can be stowed in an envelope and I put it in an envelope When in use, they will lay down smoothly and under properly. Those costs were more than I expected. (For that, I will give you one tenth of a little bit of time.

MIDI cables are working, and this cable is one
4/5

How else can I say this? There is a MIDI cable attached to the computer. There is no problem with it. Bad odors are not associated with it. There is no chance for it to prey on children at night. Cables of this quality are quite nice.

Cable of very high quality
5/5

The cable is of good quality. There are no kinks in the wiring There are no pins that run through, in that each pin matches every other To be a man is to Cable that connects to a male patch port. The wires are very good and the connectors are also very good. In addition to being shielded on the inside, it has a securely attached connector that fits snugly. I purchased this to use in a custom cable assembly for ham radio.

I found it to be very useful
5/5

We needed 1' midi cables, but found them difficult to find. Though I worried that these would be too cheap to work, they have proved to be extremely effective. It would be recommended.

I have no reason to be concerned
5/5

It was a bit difficult for me to decide whether or not Recent purchases included it as part of the offer. For the price, I decided it was worth it, even if just to have on hand to keep in case anything happens. As usual, the cable came packaged in Hosa's standard I found that a simple squeeze of the plastic is all that is needed in order to obtain the goods without cutting The fact that this is a plus is very important. Although it worked just fine, I was worried about the cable quality, given that there were no metal connectors and it was not a heavy gauge cable. So far, this has not proven a problem. I don't have to worry about coiling up unused cable, either. It works great. Connectors made of plastic are not to be avoided.

There is nothing common about this Because the cable that came with my Edifier S2000 pro speakers was 16 million feet long, I needed a shorter one
5/5

I was able to use this Hosa cable with no problems. The cable is not high quality, but it is at the price it is not expected A highly recommended product.
