Hey. I am currently trying to build some hardware for reading the midi device data. The device I am using is Akai MPK Mini Mk2 MIDI keyboard. It does not have a standard DIN connectors. Instead, it is using a single USB type A cable.
Most examples online are using MIDI to UART interface using octocoiplers:
First of all, I would only need MIDI IN as I would not be sending any commands out. I just need to read the data from the keyboard.
Secondly, I am not entirely sure whether this aproach is relevant for me as I have mentioned before - my device does not have standard MIDI connectors. What is the most convenient way to inferface with the device? Could I just use usb UART?
