Joué, designer of tactile MIDI performance hardware, has unveiled a new MIDI cable, and it's more interesting than you might expect from that description. Called re-Connect, it plugs in to the USB-C socket in the side of the Joué controller and splits it out to a single MIDI DIN socket and a regular USB cable that can be connected to a USB charging plug for power.
"re-Discover your iconic machines thanks to the re-Connect MIDI cable. No computer, no external box needed. Plug the re-Connect MIDI cable to your Joué and it will send native MIDI messages without latency."
