Required Materials (Parts and Tools)
|DIN 5 pin socket   |Qty. 1  |

|5 wire cable  |Qty. Your required length. Mine was about 15cm.  |

The Sharp boards and the 2nd SACOM board have the same pinout. The image shows solder side of the connectors. Connect points as shown in the diagram (1-1,2-2, ...5-5). Test the connections with a multimeter and make sure that they are correct. Connect the cable to MIDI board and MIDI sound module via MIDI Standard cable.

**Example:**

X68k MIDI board's MIDI out port -> Created cable -> MIDI standard cable -> MIDI sound module

Try playing music on X68k with Z-music or other music software. If MIDI sound module is receiving the MIDI message, then your work is done.
