You can use a pc and something like this FORE USB IN-OUT MIDI Interface Converter/Adapter with 5-PIN DIN MIDI Cable for PC/ Laptop/ Mac Color Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0719V8MX1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-bJOzbTK7AJN2

The only other alternative you have is to change our your drum brain for one with real midi out. There are lots of midi to usb cables that work passively, but anything that's usb to midi pretty much requires a pc in the loop.
A Dtx700 brain has 5 pin in and out.
And for those that down vote these questions, why... I know that it's been asked before but almost everything posted here has been posted before. The downside voting here is nuts.
Mutant Brain takes in MIDI, spits out 12 gates and 4 variable CVs (i.e. MIDI note pitch). The gate outputs can be clock/clock multiplications or MIDI note gates. They have a webpage to generate the SysEx files to configure the module. It works great, and functions as my main control connection between DAW and modular.
It takes 5-pin MIDI input, but a MIDI-to-USB adapter is cheap and will be less noisy than using USB directly into a module. I use a MOTU micro lite as my MIDI interface, but have used those cheap USB-MIDI cables prior to that, for many, many years.
Rock band keytar I believe. $30 or less.
You could get his Akai running with about a $65 extra investment in a raspberry pi and a cable like this.
Edit: any old keyboard with midi out would be a cheap solution as well
To send/receive MIDI you need MIDI to USB interface.
To receive audio signal you need dual 1/4 TS cable to 1/8” TRS cable.
Option1: Money is not an issue:
OP you’re best bet would be a audio interface as it allows you to connect your keyboard plus so much more.
Something like this:

And midi cables and TS cables
Option 2: Money is an issue/not ready to for a audio interface:
MIDI to USB built into MIDI cable:

1/4 TS to 1/8 TRS:

That interface has lots of extra stuff, but not the required DIN ports.
You need a simple MIDI to USB interface adapter, like this (cheaper) or this (cumbersome, but much more reliable).
Sure.

Get a USB MIDI interface, something like this.

This shows how the MIDI clock from the Xone:92 works.
​
You'll need to then assign the software you are using to listen to the incoming MIDI clock from the Xone:92 and you should be good to go.
Thank you!
I have the 1/4" TS jack cables. I've already got the Blo working, using my DAW to route my Keystation 61 in.
I tried my Keystation direct to the Blo using the cable I linked, did not work. And was powering the Keystation with AC adapter. It has that, as well as DIN out, but also can out and in and power via USB.
So would it work with the Keystation direct to the Blo via this:

(and of course, use the 1/4" TS jack cables out to the amp.)
?

I thought that's what I was doing when I used this, which did not work, even if I plugged the USB into the computer for power, as an experiment: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0719V8MX1
Your best bet is buying something like this temporarily until you can get something better, like an audio interface with MIDI or something else:

I cut an old usb cable, and wired three of the four wires to their respective pins, based on this diagram. When i turn on the keyboard, the windows device connected noise comes on, but it says "Device Not Recognized". I tried adding the white wire to each pin (on the MIDI out) that was un-used, and still nothing. Ive tried to install yamaha midi controller drivers, but no luck. Ive noticed every midi to usb converter cable has a little box on the wire. is that what stores the drivers? There is something i'm missing, but i don't know what. I could buy it, but i want to make sure its completely impossible to do on my own before i spend my scarce money. any thoughts?
