KETRON CABLE ADAPTER MIDI - USB is an adapter that connects the instrument's MIDI (DIN) ports to a computer's USB port. It lets you send and receive MIDI data between a Ketron keyboard or module and a computer with no need for a separate MIDI interface. Modern laptops have no DIN sockets, and this converter restores full MIDI communication in plug-and-play mode.
MIDI to computer without an extra interface
Connecting classic MIDI ports to a modern computer usually calls for an external interface. This cable maps the instrument's MIDI input and output to a USB port, removing the extra device from the signal path. As a result the instrument appears in the system as a MIDI device straight away, ready to work with music software, with no driver setup beyond the class-compliant standard.
Recording and control in a DAW
Once connected, the instrument can record MIDI parts directly into a sequencer, drive virtual instruments and receive data from the computer, for example to play MIDI files through the Ketron sound engine. This simple solution ties an arranger or module to a production setup, combining hardware sounds with the editing flexibility of a DAW.
