MIDI Controller connection questions

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I've been watching this sub for a week or two, and I'm trying to figure something out. For reference, I have an Alesis Q49 Mk II controller for playing my software synths on my PC and playing into my DAW. It has a single USB port as an output, no 5-pin MIDI ports.</p> <p>As I look into hardware synths (as if my finances weren't already hurting), I am curious about whether I could use this USB controller with anything, whether there is a converter that can connect to a 5-pin port, or if I would need to upgrade to something like an Arturia or Novation controller. The dream is to invest in &quot;desktop&quot; synths, since I already have a set of keys that I could swap between multiple units. </p> <p>I have the same question regarding my Presonus Atom SQ. A neat DAW/MIDI controller with knobs and stuff, but no 5-pin MIDI ports. I'm reluctant to upgrade my keyboard controller to something with a lot of buttons etc. since this one theoretically let's me tweak some stuff already. (although I guess I wouldn't need that for hardware synths)</p> <p>Thanks from a noob.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/yeknom02"> /u/yeknom02 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/roza5u/midi_controller_connection_questions/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/roza5u/midi_controller_connection_questions/">[comments]</a></span>
