Connect analog synth (Deepmind12d) ...to Akai Force

I have Akai force and someone is sending me Deepmin12D synth. Trying to get ahead of its arrival, how would I connect this old school synth to the akai force? It seems as though I will need a midi adaptor and someone mentioned this adaptor came standard with the Force, but I bought my Force as a demo unit in which it did not come with this cable. Is this the best way to connect or should I say only way? What exact cable adaptor will I need to connect analog synth to the akai force? I am very new to this crazy bottomless pit world of music production but very excited for the adventure ..If anyone can help I appreciate it.. I spent time trying to figure out what cable adaptor so I can purchase one ahead of time but not being familiar with the literal "ins and outs"
has me worried I will get the wrong one ....i am guessing its a MIDI Adapter Type B 3.5mm TRS Male to Female 5-pin DIN ...Is this the adaptor that comes standard with the Akai Force?
Thanks

Deepmind isn’t really old school it’s a fairly new synth. Wouldn’t be surprised if you can hook it up tru usb or something. U need a midi to mini jack converter to use midi.

USB should work. I don't have a deepmind,but my Behringer Pro1 midi works fine through USB.

The Force uses Type A connectors. source: https://minimidi.world/

My used force didn't come with the stock ones so I ordered some gray Elektron ones (don't know what type) which works for all my ext gear except for the Yamaha RS7000.

Yep, either DIN (with the Type A adapter) or USB will work fine. I have a Deepmind 6 and have used both.

USB. Works great! You can even record automation of deepmind parameters...heaps fun!
