[sdiy] Adding a 5-pin MIDI DIN connection to a kybd controller with USB

[grant musictechnologiesgroup.com]

And there are some that have it functional, but don't wire the signals
to anything (looking at you Korg). You might want to scope the various
UART pins on the MCU just in case.

For DIY, there are several almost ready-to-go solutions (Arduino, those
midibox peeps), including a chip that is custom made for this purpose
(can't recall the brand ATM).

Finally, this project/product is a goldmine of info:

Subject: [sdiy] Adding a 5-pin MIDI DIN connection to a kybd controller with USB

Does anyone know if a keyboard controller that has a USB connection built-in can have a S-pin DIN MIDI connection added to it and if so how would that be done ?

I have some older 5-pin MIDI DIN modules & two newer desktop hardware synths that have the 5-pin DIN style MIDI connectors built in along with built-in USB connections but I prefer to use the 5-pin MIDI DIN connections for the sake of end to end compatibility as some of the older modules are pre-USB devices.
