i have to buy a used midi controller for $100 - a miniature model of the $600 one I already have.
I can't buy a comparable new one for $100 because all the new ones are USB only.
How the heck do musicians use their classic synths with these new devices?
USB doesn't really let you do MIDI-thru, or a midi intercept like my prang box needs to.
It's mostly only good for hooking stuff into a PC or laptop.
*sigh*
Sometimes progress isn't so progressive.

curious to ask: any specific to share about this midi controller ?
where to buy this item?
diligent hands rule....

If you're talking about the one I have to hunt for used, I've only found one so far, and it's mine. I'll let you know after I buy it.
Sorry, I'm nice - but not that nice.

Hmmm, am I misunderstanding something?
Googling midi usb-to-DIN brings up an abundance of products such as this.
[EDIT:] And do intercept on the USB side?

No. It doesn't work like that.
The problem is not physically connecting MIDI to USB
The problem is USB works different than MIDI
There no way to pass a MIDI connection through a device for intercept using USB because USB simply does not work that way.
In order to do it I'd need to make my gadget emulate a PC and put a USB-A port on one end of it, making that a USB-OTG host.
No.

Sorry, I just realized my previous response may have read as hostile. I didn't intend that. I'm just frustrated that they didn't carry this basic functionality forward. It's more a USB limitation but still.

I just realized that some of the CPians are responding to my post with a ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) ...
I decided to make a list and hold you to your word when I'm around...
It would be fun as I do not drink alcohol for years now, so I will be drunk in on time

I do not search backward so the list still empty - but it is decided...
(what not decided yet is where to start my global tour - as one, who barely leaves the house and the forest it would be an other interesting challenge)

I know what you mean - I don't even have a passport anymore (which I use as an excuse to not have to enter England).

As an American and thus truly ignorant about the whole political makeup of that island, was that a joke or do you really have to show passport going from Wales to England and then I guess again going into Scotland? If so then the UK is not as U of a K as I thought.
If it wasn't a joke then maybe some of the politicians here might want to take note (That's the last I'll say or respond to about that subject. Don't want to be banned.)
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

It's a joke.
But ... you used to have to pay to enter Wales from England, but not to enter England from Wales (Severn Bridge Toll).

Perfectly acceptable...
