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!

I have a deepmind 12, and never hooked it up to anything but amp speakers. Can someone tell me how to hook it up to the mpc live 2? thank you!

Read the topic. Steps should be the same.

Deep mind 12 working great for me with key37, patch changes and all no issues here.
