Cables - Lightning, MIDI, Roland TD30

Post by gearhead7 »

HI,

Of a few questions I had, I've answered most but these below.

01. Have an iphone with a lightning connector. eDRUMin checkout doesn't offer a USB-B to Lightning. Amazon has a few offerings but all come with some poor ratings that didn't work at all for MIDI applications. Any suggestions for a cable?

02. I've got some USB-B to USB-A cables which I've had a long time and were intended for pc->printer connections. Can I use one of these to connect to a desktop computer to configure the eDRUMin? Info suggests yes, yet, will an old one work as well as a new one?

03. Does the eDi come with a MIDI cable?


Thanks for the help.

-This one works.

-Yes, standard ones are the same. It's said some can only have two contacts wired instead of four, my standard one originally obtained for a printer in mind worked.

03. Does the eDi come with a MIDI cable?
-No, does not. Got one, works great


Thought I'd answer my own questions, might help somebody else one day
