Review: Cable color is important!!! - I correctly ordered the Blue cable after first making the mistake of ordering the red cable not realizing there is a major difference, and it’s not just for looks! I needed this to connect my Korg NTS-1 to a midi controller, but first ordered the red one thinking that the color red would match the color of the rest of my equipment. Boy was I wrong! Got everything connected and nothing seemed to work. After then reading a number of other reviews I realized that the red cable has the opposite polarity and does not work with Korg products, the BLUE cable is the one which I should have ordered and is designed to work with Korg products. When the BLUE cable arrived, I plugged it in and everything instantly worked perfectly! Good product! Works the way it should! Pay attention to which color works with the product you plan to use it for!
Review: Compatible with Akai MPX8 - I purchased this to use with the Akai MPX8 and it works properly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cable color is important!!!
*by J***K on April 29, 2024*

I correctly ordered the Blue cable after first making the mistake of ordering the red cable not realizing there is a major difference, and it’s not just for looks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compatible with Akai MPX8
*by R***T on December 13, 2024*

I purchased this to use with the Akai MPX8 and it works properly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Type A cable works with Jackson Audio Golden Boy
*by A***R on August 18, 2022*

The seller also has a red version of what seems like the same cable. They are not the same though, as the red one is Type B and the blue one is Type A. The red one did not work with the Jackson Audio Golden Boy, but this blue one DOES work. You will also need a stereo 1/8" to 1/4" adapter though. I tried to find one that had MIDI to 1/4" and was Type A, but I just gave up and got this one. I already had the adapter. By the way, this cable also works with Torpedo Captor X.
