MIDI Adapter Cable
A MIDI Adapter Cable comes with two MIDI 5-pin DIN plugs on
one end, and two 15-pin D-type connectors on the other (one
'male' and one 'female').
The two MIDI plugs go into the MIDI-IN and MIDI-OUT of your
keyboard.
The 15-pin 'male' connector goes into the gameport on your
soundcard. The 'female' connector can be used for a joystick
or left unused.
