RME MIDI Breakout Cable for Babyface Pro, Multipin to 2x 5-Pin DIN

RME MIDI Breakout Cable for Babyface Pro: Standard MIDI In and Out

This RME MIDI breakout cable (BF2MIDIBOC) adapts the single multipin MIDI connector on the Babyface Pro and Babyface Pro FS to two standard 5-pin DIN jacks — one MIDI In and one MIDI Out. It is the genuine RME accessory that unlocks the interface's MIDI capability for connecting synthesizers, drum machines, and controllers. Rugged construction suits both studio and stage use. For any Babyface Pro owner who needs MIDI, this small cable is the required link.

How the MIDI Breakout Works

To keep the Babyface Pro compact, RME routes its MIDI In and Out through one multipin connector instead of two full-size DIN sockets, and this cable splits that single port back into the two 5-pin DIN jacks the MIDI standard uses. MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a serial control protocol that carries note, timing, and controller data — not audio — between electronic instruments, so the In and Out pair lets the interface both send and receive that data. Each DIN jack follows the standard 5-pin wiring, so any ordinary MIDI cable plugs straight in. Without this adapter the Babyface Pro's MIDI port cannot reach standard MIDI gear.

Genuine Babyface Pro and Pro FS Fit

The cable is designed specifically for the RME Babyface Pro and Babyface Pro FS, matching their multipin MIDI connector exactly for a secure, reliable fit. Because it is the genuine RME part, the pinout and build are correct, avoiding the intermittent connections that generic adapters can cause. It also carries the alternate designation BF2MIDIBOC. Using the intended accessory keeps MIDI data flowing without troubleshooting.

For Adding MIDI Gear to a Babyface Pro

Use this cable whenever you need standard 5-pin MIDI I/O on a Babyface Pro or Pro FS — connecting a keyboard controller, sequencing a hardware synth, or clocking a drum machine. It is essential for anyone whose Babyface Pro is the center of a hybrid setup that includes external MIDI instruments. As a replacement, it restores MIDI to an interface whose original cable was lost. If your workflow touches hardware MIDI, this adapter belongs in the bag.
