You can word it the way you want, explaining that it is a choice among others doesn’t make it a good choice. It is a very poor choice not only because it makes no sense on an economical basis (you eventually get an additional 3-6$ gain on your product that adopts outdated/rare hardware standards) but it has also been proven to result in a very bad experience for many of Organelle’s customers that are desperately looking for the right technology to make their gear to properly work. Do you want a reminder of all the threads that are complaining about MIDI TRS not working as it should? > [@Organelle M - MIDI out with Mio](https://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/organelle-m-midi-out-with-mio/4736): > > Hi everyone, I am unable to get MIDI Monitor or a Pocket Piano to receive anything from the MIDI Out jack of the Organelle M. I have been able to get MIDI In and tempo sync with the same adapter, no problem. I am using [this adapter](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0797SG8RS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) (it’s type A) [this usb converter](https://www.amazon.com/iConnectivity-mio-1-out-MIDI-Interface/dp/B00CO5IRSG/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=mio+midi&qid=1565800154&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-2) I’m not too experienced but I have tried troubleshooting with these steps: Does MIDI In Work?

Are your cables shielded? Maybe measure the resistance over the cable, even if it tests good for continuity?

Tonight I made this arp in LoFi Poly Piano that I was really digging. I decided I wanted to record the audio and midi in my DAW for further manipulation.

I was trying to figure out how to connect my controllers (Deluge and Keystep) in midi via the trs cable to sync with the euclidian plugin and it wasnt working. By reading here and there I understood that I had to pick the midi device in the settings. SoI went there and it was on 28:0, I clicked and changed it for the only option available (despite the Deluge being pluged in) which is MIDI THROUGH Port-0. and since then, it is locked on that option whatever I’m pluging in and now my eucl… That’s something like half the total Organelle M threads about the specific breakout cable type that wouldn’t exist if the cables were simply included. That’s it. Now I told everything I had to say, I also have my cable that I paid way more than I should but I’m happy this money didn’t go to Critter and Guitari, I won’t spend any more time on this thx. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/weird-behavior-midi-issue/4813)._
