5-pin DIN is still the more stable option today and doesn't introduce any noise, unlike USB which carries power.

- jojobas 3y agoNoise in midi? Seriously?
- uxp100 3y agoYeah, I’ve got devices where there is a hum on their output while using usb-midi. 5 pin midi should not have such issues (but if done badly could)
- adw 3y agoYep. It's not noise on the MIDI signal, obviously, it's crosstalk induced by USB circuitry. It gets worse when bus power is involved; USB-powered instruments are notorious for it.
- jacquesm 3y agoMIDI is galvanically isolated, USB is galvanically connected so you can have groundloops if you use USB but not if you use MIDI.
