I want to say hello first, as I a new to this forum. I have a question? I just bought a MIDIMAN MM-401 off ebay. It didn't come with the white 9 pin male serial breakout cable. I have looked everywhere for this cable to no avail. Does anybody know where I can get this cable? If anybody on here has one I will purchase it from you. I asked a guy on youtube where I can get it and he said I could make one if I can find the pin layout. Problem is I cant find the pin layout either. Here is a picture.

Thank You

Here's the pinout from my Steinberg PC-1 breakout cable which also works with my Midiman401.

Hi AlexDroog!

sorry for not helping sooner. I was very busy and got projects all over the place 😵

I sat down and measured all the connections and made a little image.

Only the MIDI-OUT is needed for DOS gaming 😀 It connects to the MIDI-IN on the MT-32.

You only need to solder 3 wires, so it's quite a simple job 😊
