USB with MIDI instruments

iConnectMIDI enables the direct communication between USB controllers and legacy MIDI
synthesizers without a computing device. In the past, the communication between MIDI
devices simply required the presence of MIDI DIN connectors on each device and a cable to
connect them. However, modern MIDI controllers (keyboards, control surfaces, drum pads,
etc.) only have a USB connector and MIDI DIN connectors; direct connection is no longer
possible with such devices. In addition, some modern instruments that have both USB and
MIDI DIN connectors cannot directly communicate with to USB-only MIDI controllers through a
USB cable.
iConnectMIDI solves this problem by providing the necessary translation between MIDI DIN and
USB MIDI connectors, which previously required the intervention of a computer. In general,
legacy MIDI instruments are sound generators and modern controllers are USB, so connection
will be MIDI DIN cables between iConnectMIDI and legacy instruments and USB between
iConnectMIDI and USB MIDI controllers.
Because MIDI DIN instruments typically have the full complement of MIDI DIN connectors (IN,
OUT, THRU), these instruments can be daisy chained. This allows for multiple MIDI instruments
to be connected together using a MIDI cable between each instrument.
