I'm after a MIDI 5 Pin to TRS cable for a new pedal, however I'm struggling to find one for a reasonable price. Disaster Area make one, and it's only $15, however shipping outside the US is stupidly expensive. I have found some other stockists in Europe, but it comes to well over £30.
It's this

Does anyone make anything like this? The only difference I would need would be a smaller/flatter MIDI connector (Like the Rockboard ones.)
Thanks!
Dave

Chop it in the middle and make two ;-)
Search Amazon for 'midi right angle' - nice EBS, cheapo Snakebita and Hosa...
The only thing you need to be wary of is which wires go to tip, ring and sleeve. I don't know if this is standardized (or indeed if it makes a difference). It might be worth checking with the manufacturer of whatever the TRS end is plugging in to.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

Some if the issue is covered in this thread - would be good to get a thefretboard expert to clarify what needs to be considered.

The DisasterArea one is what JacksonAudio recommend
Sadly these cables are very difficult to get, probably not as difficult as my getting email notifications though !!! I think I did the one with the 6.35mm KMMK Sq for a Meris Orbit and it worked first time.
Anyway, for anyone who ever wants one YES I can do it, I usually carry enough parts to be able to make at least one at a time. Right now I could do this or a 3.5mm to 5 pin midi. I mention this cause the wiring is exactly the same for the Boss 200 series pedals.
If you want to DIY yourself, probably looking at around £22.00 spend for parts and postage etc. I obviously get my bits in with other parts, if anyone ever needs the wiring diagram or for me to MAKE ONE! just drop me an email - one that will always exist is practicalpatch@gmail.com
