It's unnecessary in your case, since you're connecting to a PC that already has a USB port. But if you really wanted to (for example, if instead of a PC, you needed to connect your controller instead to a sound module or hardware sequencer with 5-pin MIDI in and no USB A port; or if you just really like your PC's existing MIDI interface), then absolutely it is possible to convert a controller's USB MIDI I/O to conventional 5-pin MIDI I/O. There exist readymade converters for exactly this purpose: https://www.keyboardforums.com/threads/usb-b-to-midi.29711/ https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal/usb-midi-hosts https://www.perfectcircuit.com/kenton-midi-usb-host-mkii.html Sam -- A: When it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
