Hi, look if u really need a good MIDI interface u have to get an EDIROL USB MIDI Interface or M-audio USB MIDI Interface.

I work with MIDISPORT 4x4USB and a EDIROL UM880, its the best cuz u can use the UM as a stand alone MIDI patch BAY.

If u have questions just ask.

That's fine, looks the same. You connect 1 end to the joystick, most come with an additional joystick port so that you can use a control pad, a midi in and a midi out port.

Really, the cable does nothing other than provide the needed 5 pin connection.
