Instruccions de configuració

The LEKATO USB MIDI Cable is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring no special drivers for most Windows and Mac OS systems. Follow these steps to connect your MIDI devices:

1. Connect USB to Computer: Plug the USB end of the cable into an available USB port on your computer (Windows PC or Mac).
2. Connect MIDI OUT: Connect the MIDI OUT plug of the LEKATO cable (typically labeled 'MIDI OUT' on the cable itself) to the MIDI IN port of your electronic musical instrument (e.g., keyboard, synthesizer).
3. Connect MIDI IN: Connect the MIDI IN plug of the LEKATO cable (typically labeled 'MIDI IN' on the cable itself) to the MIDI OUT port of your electronic musical instrument or sound module.

Nota important: Some users have reported that for this specific LEKATO cable, the MIDI OUT plug of the cable should connect to the MIDI OUT socket of the instrument, and the MIDI IN plug of the cable should connect to the MIDI IN socket of the instrument. If the standard connection method (MIDI OUT cable to MIDI IN instrument, MIDI IN cable to MIDI OUT instrument) does not work, please try connecting the cable's IN to the instrument's IN, and the cable's OUT to the instrument's OUT.
