Usb and wireless (wifi/bluetooth) have adopted the protocol (among other ubiquity ones like OSC and Alink) making things really link but the last 3 years seems modular synths (with scifi VC tech lol) are the trend. Writting techie shit when I’m still sleepy has this wonderful things.Ībout usb host chips, the one you brang (or any new smd atmel) probably will be cappable of that (xbee has more power than usually release due these need hardcoders) so I can imagine smaller pcb size until be just more or less the connector but it will necessary? They get it for free (ish) because those devices house a desktop OS but considering the price of the components I linked to, it's not particularly crazy to imagine makers like Korg or Elektron providing USB MIDI host ports on their syrupcode is your hacker alter ego, isn’t? Would love to see more devices like the new MPCs that include USB MIDI hosting natively. But then, I never really imagined the iPad either so I'll hold out hope. I can imagine a future where this part is no longer relevant but still a bit hard to see the "class compliant USB Host" part getting small enough to be like that PS2 adapter. There have been some recent tweaks to the midi spec that allows for faster transfer rates. You can't throttle without intermediate processors. Understanding the differences between host and endpoint in usb protocol is a must to understand the answers and differences between a simple midi to usb from kenton-like boxes/dongles. It could be possible to minimize these connectors with some adaptation like vestax did using ps2 connectors and dedicated cables and small usb connectors but these will bring more issues than solutions due to people trying to connect keyboards or usb in wrong way.
not the same case between midi din and midi usb which the device you plug in the usb side must be class compliant (driverless) so the translator chip includes the midi messaging protocol inside in addition to the host cappability to hear the incoming messages from that device. In the ps2/usb adaptor is only a matter of connector being those interchangeable due same protocol rear them afaik. Aside of that usb and midi din connectors also are bulk. To achieve what you want is required a translator chip which in the best case is smd package like syrupcode pointed. We understood the need but the kind of adapter you post isn’t really comparable at electronic side, just eclosure. I’m interested in something along the lines of this above, but a 5pin midi not a ps2 Not sure if there are feature differences though. They also make a kenton/KMI sized one for about half the price. I've never built one but most of the DIY talk I've seen recently seems to revolve around that board. Maybe you could put one together if you're handy.
