The Polyend Play needs a 3,5mm jack to MIDI DIN TRS type B adapter. It’s included in the kit. But if you’d need another one, that’s what you need.

It’s available on Polyend [webstore](https://polyend.com/accessories/)

As shown by Polyend Boss 🙂 in a Youtube video, you can use a simple 3.5 STEREO audio cable to connect **a Tracker and Play**. It works.

Just to clarify what @acaposotta said.

Yes, you can use a regular 3.5mm stereo cable. A TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) cable essentially is a balanced cable that can carry stereo signals.

Here’s the important bit though: Both devices need to use the same MIDI TRS Standard.  
Polyend devices use TRS Type B.

#### Scenarios:

- Connecting a TRS Type B Device to another TRS Type B Device will work without any issues.

- If the other device is a TRS Type A device, you will need a TRS Type A to Type B Adapter  
(or vice versa, they are the same).

Hope this helps in clearing up all the MIDI TRS confusions 😆
