MIDI TRS Type A/B Question

[Dark Waves]

Bumping this.

I've seen some cables that go 1/8" to 5-pin DIN. Can I use these on standard MIDI I/O (on outputs 11 & 12, say) without regard to type A or B?
I don't own any gear with 1/8" MIDI connectors and this new to me.

There are many adapter cables for 1/8" to 5-pin, you just need to match the two types, A and B, to whichever type the equipment uses.  Some examples:

Be aware, though, some manufacturers have switched what type is used depending on the model.
