MIDI Cable Designer

Connect your Guitars MIDI controller to your MIDI devices with our cables and rest assured that your 1s and 0s are in good hands.

If you need a long, medium or short midi cable, we've got you covered.  Choose from a straight 5 Pin DIN plug or a low profile right angle midi plug to get the best midi cable for your needs! It's a patch cable, but for midi - A midi patch cable!

Plug Orientation for Right Angle Midi Plugs

You can now choose how your right angle midi cable is oriented! There are 8 positions to choose from.  The diagrams (located in the photo section of this page) are designed to be matched to your pedals.  You will either have a Smiling midi jack (the 5 pins curve up) or a frowning midi jack (the 5 pins curve down).  

These diagrams assume you are looking at the pins of the midi cable.  Take this into account when deciding orientation.

Straight Midi Plugs

These are great for situations where the plug will be plugged and unplugged constantly.  Where our right angle midi cables are great for saving space, our straight midi cables are great for constant use.  Easy to remove from any pedal, this straight 5 pin connector will last for years to come. 

1/4" and 3.5mm Midi Cables and Plugs

You can now also get a 3.5mm and 1/4" midi cable! These are very useful for any pedal that has a 1/4" or 3.5mm midi input.  

You can use these cables for midi controllers with 1/4" and 3.5mm outputs like Morningstar FX. 

The one thing you will need to confirm before purchase is the type of wiring used by the company - generally found in the user manual.

There are two main options: 

Midi Type A: Empress, Meris, Boss 200 Series, Bondi Effects, Cooper, Red Panda, Jackson, Alexander 

Midi Type B: Poly Effects, Malekko, many synths and modular products. 

Chase Bliss uses their own midi standard.  You can select Chase Bliss in the dropdown menu above! 

TRS Plug Types

TRS Pancake - These are a low profile right angle jack that allow pedals to be placed close to each other and will generally suit most applications on your pedal board. Not ideal for jacks that are close together! Perfect for expression pedals and TRS midi!

TRS Short Body Straight - The most common application for these is a true bypass looper where right angle jacks cannot be used and TRS is needed! These will stick out farther than any other jack, but will fit in any pedal regardless of how tight the jack spacing is.  

Evidence Audio ESP - This is the smallest soldered plug available on the market today.  Made with the best materials, smallest form factor, this plug will fit anywhere on your pedalboard! Stereo boss pedals (notoriously close together), GigRig G3 switchers, TC electronic stereo pedals - all of these will now work with the ESP Plug! Great when you need to access your TRS jack but space is tight.

3.5mm Straight and Right Angle - These are great for your midi TRS connections! The right angle option will save space. Where space isn't an issue, use the straight plug to make it easier to plug in and out of the pedal.  

Like all our cable offerings, Goodwood Audio midi cables are built and tested by the hands of people who care about you, and your 1s and 0s.
