Topic: USB Type B Female on back of keyboard -> X-> 6-pin Mini-DIN Female on

Hi.  I just bought the RME Babyface Pro, and none of my keyboards can connect to it, because the MIDI output is USB type B female(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#/media/File:USB_konektory.png) and the Babyface Pro input is 6-pin Mini-DIN female. 

The keyboards usually connect with a USB Type B Male to USB Type A Male cable, so I connected that to a USB Type A Female to 6-pin Mini-DIN Male adapter. No joy.

So to connect I believe I need one of the two following patches:

Male USB Type B -> Y-split 5-pin male MIDI in and 5-pin male MIDI out -> Breakout cable that came with the Babyface Pro

...or...

Male USB Type B -> 6-pin Mini-DIN Male

I can't find either of these adapter configurations anywhere. 

Please help me connect my USB Type B keyboards to my new Babyface Pro.

Many Thanks,
Basil

The BBFP is being shipped with a MIDI breakout cable, see handbook and picture below.
If its missing, contact your dealer.
