Enable MIDI Mode for 3.5mm and USB portsUpdated a year ago

PlantWave has a 3.5mm Type A MIDI jack, which can be connected to other Type-A MIDI devices via a 3.5mm stereo aux cable or to 5-pin MIDI synths via a Type-A MIDI Adapter.

PlantWave can also send MIDI via USB.

PlantWave cannot be directly connected to a Type-B MIDI synth without special configuration. For more info on Type-A vs Type-B MIDI, visit minimidi.world
