The Novation Circuit is the odd one, since it uses Type B. The Elektron Model:Samples should also work, since it allows you to inverse the polarity of the MIDI out port in the device's settings (so it can be Type A or Type B), however I haven't gotten it to work yet. Of the above, all of the KORG instruments will work with a standard TRS stereo audio cable (TRS on both ends), since they are all Type A. (if you know of others, leave them in a comment and I'll add them to this list) Here's a short list of devices that I know use TRS for their MIDI OUT, all of which should be able to sequence the NTS-1:Įlektron Model:Samples (Type A or Type B) Some instruments and sequencers will use TRS (female) as their MIDI OUT port. Also I do not recommend shopping for these on Amazon, because most of the sellers do not label them as Type A or Type B or Type C, so it is very difficult to know if you are getting the right type. Note that any cable/adapter that is compatible with Arturia, Novation, or 1010Music WILL NOT WORK, as those are Type B.

The easiest one to find appears to be the Make Noise 0-Coast one, here are two good sources in the US: If your device has one of these, you'll need to buy a Type A TRS to MIDI adapter, as unfortunately it is not included with the NTS-1. Most will use a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI connector (female) labeled 'MIDI OUT'. The first thing you have to know is how your external sequencer/MIDI controller outputs MIDI. Or to play it live from an external keyboard or other MIDI controller. First off, the goal is simply to sequence the NTS-1 from an external sequencer, since it doesn't have one built-in.
