Product Features

• Seamless Connectivity: Connects 5-pin DIN MIDI instruments (keyboards, synthesizers, electric drums, etc.) to your PC, Mac, or laptop via a Type-C USB port.
• Durable Construction: Features an aluminum alloy casing, advanced braided material, and multi-layer cable protection for enhanced longevity.
• Stable Signal Transmission: Incorporates anti-electromagnetic interference technology to ensure fast, secure, and lossless MIDI signal transfer.
• Smart LED Indicators: Built-in LEDs display connection status (Blue), recording signal (Red), and playback signal (Yellow).
• Plug and Play: No driver installation required. USB powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply.

Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to connect your MIDI instrument to your computer:

1. Connect to Computer: Plug the Type-C USB connector of the adapter cable into an available Type-C port on your PC, Mac, or laptop.
2. Connect MIDI OUT: Locate the MIDI OUT port on your MIDI instrument. Plug the adapter cable's connector labeled "IN" into your instrument's MIDI OUT port.
3. Connect MIDI IN: Locate the MIDI IN port on your MIDI instrument. Plug the adapter cable's connector labeled "OUT" into your instrument's MIDI IN port.
4. Verify Connection: Once connected, the blue LED indicator on the adapter should illuminate, indicating a successful power and connection status.

Important Note: Ensure the adapter's "IN" plug is connected to the MIDI device's "OUT" port, and the adapter's "OUT" plug is connected to the MIDI device's "IN" port. This is a common convention for MIDI connections.

Operating Instructions

Once the cable is connected, your computer should automatically recognize the MIDI interface. You can then use your preferred Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software or other music applications to interact with your MIDI instrument.

LED Indicator Meanings:

• Blue Light: Indicates that the power supply is on and the device is generally connected.
• Red Light: Illuminates when a recording signal is being transmitted.
• Yellow Light: Illuminates when a playback signal is being transmitted.

Compatibility

The XMSJSIY Type-C MIDI to USB C Adapter Cable is designed for broad compatibility:

• Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. Also compatible with Mac operating systems.
• MIDI Instruments: Supports electronic keyboards, electric drums, pianos, wind instruments, pedals, pads, synthesizers, and other MIDI DIN 5-pin devices.
• Host Devices: Works with PCs, Mac computers, and laptops equipped with a Type-C USB port.

Troubleshooting

• No Power/Blue LED Off:
  - Ensure the Type-C USB connector is fully inserted into your computer's port.
  - Try a different USB Type-C port on your computer.
  - Verify your computer's USB port is functional.
• No MIDI Signal (Red/Yellow LED Off during use):
  - Double-check that the adapter's "IN" plug is connected to the MIDI instrument's "OUT" port, and the adapter's "OUT" plug is connected to the MIDI instrument's "IN" port. This is a common mistake.
  - Ensure your MIDI instrument is powered on and functioning correctly.
  - Check your DAW or music software settings to ensure the MIDI input/output device is correctly selected (it should appear as a generic USB MIDI device).
  - Try restarting your computer and MIDI instrument.
• Latency Issues:
  - Close any unnecessary applications running on your computer.
  - Ensure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for your DAW software.
  - Adjust buffer size settings in your DAW (lower buffer size reduces latency but requires more CPU).
• Intermittent Connection:
  - Ensure the cable is not bent or damaged.
  - Avoid placing the cable near strong electromagnetic interference sources.
