Life has become a whole lot easier with USB!



Yes when it’s Midi to USB. Not usb to midi.

I’m not sure you are aware that it doest work in reverse. It always require external box with own power supply or computer in between.

Show me how you connect say P125 to sx900 with one cable without converter box ( which always require power supply ). There is none because keyboards uses USB B connector.



There is a reason that Pros require midi outs in Live situations. One simple cable between two Midi equipped gear. No dongles/ no extra boxes/ no adapters/ no computers in between.
