Yes.<br>
<br>
It's unnecessary in your case, since you're connecting to a PC that<br>
already has a USB port.<br>
<br>
But if you really wanted to (for example, if instead of a PC, you needed<br>
to connect your controller instead to a sound module or hardware<br>
sequencer with 5-pin MIDI in and no USB A port;  or if you just really<br>
like your PC's existing MIDI interface), then absolutely it is possible<br>
to convert a controller's USB MIDI I/O to conventional 5-pin MIDI I/O.<br>
<br>
There exist readymade converters for exactly this purpose:<br>
