Midi cables as slave cables work sometimes but may not work in all situations and are far from ideal anyway. They are much heavier because they connect all pins. And they don't properly short the appropriate pins as the diagram clearly shows.

It's very easy to convert an M-Lead to an S-Lead or visa versa for a couple bucks and 20 minutes of labor.

I highly recommend using cables as they are wired above or you are just asking for trouble.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
