After some searching it appears that this won't work, as those cables need a computer to work. Boo.

Topic: USB Midi to MIDI DIN? (36 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Hello!
Forgive me if this isn't the right part of the forum.
It's been years since I made any chip music, and I'm looking to get back into it.
I have an arduinoboy that has MIDI DIN OUT and IN, and used to work fine with my old MIDI keyboard that had DIN out, running to the Gameboy DMG and MGB or whatever the software is called (memory fails me!)
Now, most of the controllers I can get my hands on are USB MIDI only - no DIN. The USBBoy project seems to have been sold out for a long time, and I'd rather not have to create my own.
What I'm thinking is, I could get a keyboard with MIDI USB out, and then use one of these USB to MIDI cables:

along with an adaptor like so to change the USB gender:

That theoretically should work, but wanted to see if that made sense to other folks before I dropped the cash on it.
Thank you!
