TRS to TRS MIDI Cable

Hi,

I need a TRS to TRS Type A midi cable as i have to build a midi chain and i have that need.

Now, i am not able to find it anywhere so wondering if it exists.

The only one i am able to find is: https://www.thomann.de/it/boss_bcc_2_3535_trs_trs_midi_cable.htm

Does anyone knows if this is a type A and would actually work with gears other then boss pedals?

thanks
Mat

Hi Mat,
what piece of gear are you trying to connect?
If there are 3,5 socket you can bypass the big din connector and go straight with a simple 3.5 stereo jack
that Boss cable looks pricey and it's not clear if it's a type A or B
every 3,5 stereo minijack will be fine as long as its pins are mapped correctly to the midi A standard:

MIDI 4 (Source) > TRS RING
MIDI 2 (Shield) > TRS SLEEVE
MIDI 5 (Sink) > TRS TIP

you can find all the info you need here:

hope it helps

Thanks a lot, will try.

I am bulding a midi chain with 1 kenton merge 4, 1 arturia keystep, 2 korg sq64 and a polyend poly 2. I am actually 1 step only away from the goal.
Last step is from one from midi out of one of the korg into midi in of the other. They both away trs only so i need that cable. Will try with a standard cable. Curious to see if it works.
Thanks,
Mat

with a trs cable does it actually matter what "type" it is as long as both sockets are of the same type?

tip will connect to tip, ring to ring and sleeve to sleeve

the only reason you need a specific trs-> midi cable is that A and B connect to different pins at the DIN end

Hi,

It works with a standard stereo cable! Thanks!
