Hello people.

I'm having some trouble to decide what cable to buy, I have a SCC-1 and mine CM-64 is almost here (customs delay), and I'm wanting to buy the cables at once. SCC-1 have a 5 pin mini din(that is very different from pc keyboard mini din), the manual says that I must use a adapter cable included with my SCC-1(but mine didn't have this cable), so, this is the problem, please give me some help.

Thank you!

These mini-DIN to DIN cables are very hard to find, but rather easy to build yourself (at least if you can find the right mini-DIN plug).

Here is the pinout for the cable (normal DIN plug going into the CM64 on the left, on the right side the mini-DIN plug for the SCC-1).
The diagram shows both male ends of the cable. The pins marked red are used for shielding, which only should be connected on the MIDI-OUT end of the cable (in your case, the mini-DIN connector).
