Both. For example, I can use Nord’s (or MAudio’s) old school 5 pin MIDI out to the in of my Korg PlugKey interface for iOS so they act as controllers for Garage Band or Korg Module - and I use the new school MIDI/USB to connect my laptop to my Nord Grand for downloading instruments from the library.

I was trying to find out if NORD LEAD 4/A1 Users could sacrifice their oldschool MIDI in / OUT for connecting an OLED Display.
Or... you could add a MIDI through and a MIDI merge to your OLED device
That way the Lead MIDI Out is mirrored to the OLED's MIDI Thru, and the Lead MIDI In receives a merged stream of the OLED messages + the OLED MIDI In.
That would be perfect.

Yes, Mr G, that's exactly what I had in mind. The NodeMCU microcontroller luckily has 2 UART RX and TX that would rock the job.
But on the other hand, see that more features or midi ports inevitably allow the case to grow.
I personally need the MIDI-In of the Lead A1 because I mostly play my synths in the studio with my master keyboard (Studiologic SL 990 Pro, extremely midi-pimped, of course ).
For the display project it would of course be much easier to do without the favorite buttons and thus the required midi-in.
The display would then really be a pure "output displaying unit"
But that would be almost tooooo easy ...
