HosaMID-315BK MIDI Cable 5 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 5-foot 5-pin MIDI cable for linking keyboards, sound modules, and drum machines that have traditional MIDI ports.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Connecting a keyboard's MIDI Out to a sound module's MIDI In
- Short runs between gear stacked on a desk or rack
- Adding a spare to a studio drawer for gear with DIN ports
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Controllers that connect only over USB
- Runs longer than five feet between stage positions
- Anyone needing two-way sync from a single cable
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5 ft length
Enough for gear side by side or in the same rack. Tight if devices sit across a room.
Detail 03
MIDI signal, not audio
Carries note and control data only. You still need audio cables to hear anything.
Detail 04
One-directional per cable
MIDI flows Out to In. Two-way communication between devices takes a second cable.
Detail 05
Black jacket
Disappears in a rack or under a desk, so label both ends if you run several.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your gear has 5-pin DIN ports, not USB or 1/8-inch TRS MIDI
- 02One cable only. Buy two for bidirectional sync between devices
- 03No USB adapter or MIDI interface included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my USB MIDI keyboard?
Only if the keyboard also has 5-pin DIN MIDI jacks. USB-only controllers need a USB cable to a computer instead.
02Does a MIDI cable carry sound?
No. It sends performance data such as notes, velocity, and controller messages. Audio needs separate cables from your instrument or module outputs.
03Do I need one cable or two?
One handles a single direction, Out to In. Use two if both devices need to send and receive.
04Can I plug this into a 1/8-inch TRS MIDI jack?
Not directly. Compact gear with TRS MIDI requires an adapter designed for that jack.
