Mario,
Thanks. While these look similar, I doubt they have MIDI hardware protocol. Probably there are "ways" to make them work, but the small piece of hardware I found made specifically for MIDI. From what I understand, it even allows for wired bi-directional MIDI connection between iOS and Windows devices.

I am actually very surprised manufacturers slept on this. While folks use network and BT connections, my take, wired is more reliable.
