TRS version works as a MIDI splitter though.

True. Your 2hp module is more than valuable, considering that it can also swap between the two formats and it takes almost zero space.

I recently bought a Polyend Poly 2 and just started using it. It comes with one MIDI DIN to 3.5 mm TRS adapter cable. I decided to buy a couple more, and went with cables meant for Make Noise 0-Coast. It turns out these are incompatible. I surmise that Make Noise uses Type A, i.e. the type Arturia uses, i.e. data maps to ring.

I contacted Polyend and promptly received a response; in fact, they sent me a diagram (see attached). Polyend uses the type in which data maps to tip, i.e. the type Korg uses, i.e. Type B.

I think MakeNoise uses the same type that Korg uses.

Compare http://www.makenoisemusic.com/content/m ... manual.pdf with Korg's little bits diagram from MIDI association https://www.midi.org/articles-old/updat ... din-cables

I'm fairly sure the one you're depicting above is the Korg type, and I'm also fairly certain Tony went with the Korg Type as we discussed this a long time ago when the 0 Coast first came out during a super booth, back when I was trying to get all manufacturers to adhere to the Korg Type (but failed miserably

)

MN is most def Korg standard:

"connected using a simple TRS cable"

I've put down Polyend Poly 2 as Type Arturia (also according that pic) - please someone check my logic here cos I'm tired in the moment.

The pocket operator modular 16 talks to my 0-coast that suddenly has a working midi interface.

Thought somebody fried it in the euro coversion but seems hè just supplied me with type B cables. Sooooo much fun but I guess that’s One for the Korg/type a list

wait what .. that thing has MIDI ?
I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT, how awesome is this. I need one now!

[Edit:]
Korg is correct. They have the info in the online manual:
https://teenage.engineering/guides/po-modular/16
I find that super cool, still don't get why not all manufacturers publish this info.

I hope this message is not out of subject.

Could you, please, edit the initial list according to the MIDI Association informations ?

It could help to clarify this ink bottle (bouteille à encre) topic.

https://www.midi.org/articles-old/updat ... din-cables

If A is B and B is A we are in the 1984 world, confusion and despair.

Little confusion and very light despair I know, but we need lights.

Thank you for your work around this MIDI enigma.

Salut! C'est vrais!

corrected, thanks!

thanks for all your work on this data!

i've started to organize structured data from this thread, along with data from my own research, and made it public domain at:
https://github.com/audionerd/minimidi-data
i'll try to keep it up-to-date with this thread, but PR's are welcome, too.

also, using that dataset, i'm working on a microsite to better explain how TRS MIDI works, and to help people search for MIDI TRS type by device:
https://minimidi.world

[also.. could you please modify my vendor name to LPZW.modules otherwise ppl will probably not find me in that list]

audionerd · Post by **audionerd** » Thu Dec 19, 2019 9:07 am

sure! done.

the transition to the new software omitted the last entries to this thread. I can't find the URL to that MINIMIDI website that was so nicely done.

A great resource for TRS MIDI information.

my case (Dreadbox 168) has midi inputs in TRS format. http://www.dreadbox-fx.com/modular-cases/
I dont know what standard it follows but I would guess its KORG as someone mentioned a dreadbox module that used that...

Just received from Germany a FLAME QMCV - MIDI to 4 CV-Gate-Velocity Interface.

For the list :

MIDI Input (MIDI TRS-B Standard)
MIDI THRU Output (MIDI TRS-B Standard)

Thanx.

Just got confirmation that the Division Department 01/IV drum machine uses the Type B trs midi.

(to copy the previous posts format:

MIDI Input (MIDI TRS-B Standard)
MIDI THRU Output (MIDI TRS-B Standard)

How is the QMCV working for you? The voltages on mine are slightly off and I‘m waiting for information on how to calibrate it.

oh F ME.. lol, why or why didn't i know about this thread the last few weeks after ordering 2 of the wrong midi adapters for my performer. i've been banging my head against the wall thinking my unit was busted.. actually today i was going to order a type a, but confidence was very low. glad to get confirmation i'm not doing something wrong (aside from wasting money).

I had a version of the Performer where you could switch TRS types.

definitely not something mine is capable of. i think my board is a rev done by MSW, not sure if that had any impact on the midi standard it needs, but yeah type B - the one 1010music sells, and the one on amazon for $6.99 (that doesn't specify a standard

) did not work. just ordered the korg/type A, fingers and toes crossed. i really wanna play with the arp settings on this thing (while my keystep is arping!)
