The SAMIDIBlue1 delivers reliable MIDI connectivity for musicians, producers, and performers who need to sync synthesizers, drum machines, controllers, and other MIDI-enabled gear. This 1-foot cable handles all standard MIDI data transmission between devices in your studio or live rig.

Built with 5-pin DIN connectors on both ends, this cable carries MIDI signals with the precision your electronic instruments demand. The oxygen-free copper conductors ensure clean data transfer, while the OFC spiral shield blocks electromagnetic interference that can disrupt MIDI timing.

The compact 1-foot length makes this cable ideal for tight rack setups, desktop studio configurations, and pedalboard connections where space is limited. Nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion and provide secure connections that won't come loose during performance. The blue jacket helps with cable identification in complex setups.

Whether you're connecting a MIDI controller to your audio interface, chaining multiple synthesizers, or linking drum machines to sequencers, this cable handles standard MIDI communication protocols. Perfect for home studios, project studios, and live electronic music setups where short-run connections are needed.

The cable connects any two devices with standard 5-pin MIDI ports - just plug and play with no additional adapters required. Ships ready to use with Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and fast shipping to get your MIDI gear connected.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What devices can I connect with this MIDI cable?

This cable connects any two devices with standard 5-pin MIDI ports, including synthesizers, drum machines, MIDI controllers, audio interfaces, sequencers, and electronic keyboards. It's wired to MIDI standard specifications, so it works with equipment from all major manufacturers like Roland, Yamaha, Korg, and Akai.

Is 1 foot long enough for most studio setups?

The 1-foot length is perfect for rack-mounted gear, desktop studio connections, and pedalboard setups where devices are positioned close together. For longer runs between distant equipment, you'll need a longer MIDI cable. This short length minimizes signal path and reduces potential interference in tight configurations.

Does this cable carry MIDI data in both directions?

No, MIDI cables are unidirectional - they carry data from one MIDI OUT port to one MIDI IN port. If you need bidirectional communication between devices, you'll need two separate MIDI cables. The cable has male 5-pin DIN connectors on both ends for standard MIDI connections.

Will this work with USB MIDI controllers?

This cable only works between devices with 5-pin DIN MIDI ports. If your controller has USB-only MIDI connectivity, you'll need a USB cable to connect to your computer or a USB-to-MIDI interface. Many newer controllers offer both USB and traditional 5-pin MIDI connections.

What's the difference between MIDI cables and audio cables?

MIDI cables carry digital control data (note on/off, velocity, timing) rather than audio signals. They use 5-pin DIN connectors and specialized shielding for data integrity. You cannot use audio cables for MIDI connections, and MIDI cables won't carry audio - they're completely different signal types requiring different cable designs.
