Wow. Cycles comes with two adapters. Really M:S only ships with one?
My MS came with 2
So did my MC

The adaptor itself isnāt, but the device is. Iām pretty sure the adaptor is type A.

They settled that all the new products that use these connectors will run on Type A adapters.

Ah good, thatās how it should be. I just saw a few older comments claiming only one adapter was included. Odd!
As the M:S and M:C can work with any trs midi gear ( korg/ novation) you do not even need themā¦just a trs cable will do, is what I use.
M:C comes with 2 such adapters

Yeah - itās a type A according to this list, bizarrely the keystep is quoted as a type B which would mean hitting the settings menu on the MC, except that the KS is in fact using DIN sockets ! So the article is maybe a bit suspect
The older legacy adaptors are indeed different, pins 4 and 5 would be reverse wired on B adaptors

Yeah, just got my M:S a few weeks ago and it also came with 2 adapters.
My Model:Samples came with two adapters as well, they are both Type A. Happily, the Model Samples can use either Type A or Type B for output thanks to the option to switch polarity. It can also use both types for input, and it detects it automatically, so thereās no setting to change. For example, I use a Type B adapter to input/output from/to my Minilogue XD (which takes Type A), so it shouldnāt work, but it does because the M:S is awesome.
If you are in the US, this is the best place to buy these adapters:
Type A
Type B
They are about $10 each after shipping. Cheaper than Amazon, and supporting a good music shop (in LA).
To be precise : 1/8āā TRS cable
To be precise, assuming you mean inches, that is almost 10% out. Itās 3.5mm as per topic title. To be precise

Iām not even in an Imperial System Country.
i have tried with non Elektron cheap cables,change the polarity,just doesnāt work
The dude that sold me his samples didnt send the cable. Dammit! Now i canĀ“t use it.
Alright, had to make one myself but it looks like crap and iĀ“m pissed because i should get the correct one.
Hereās a great resource on everything Minijack MIDI, including a database which machines use which standard and diagrams how the adapters are wired. Maybe the link is helpful to anyone else, I use it all the time for reference.

has anyone created a piece of software yet than can turn your laptop headphone port into a midi port via these adaptors?
