Would Not Work at All. Extremely Dissatisfied.
This is the first negative review I've given on Thomann. I'm usually extremely happy with every product. Not in this case. The brand I was sent was a Prodipe interface, and it is truly awful. I can't give anything other than a 1 star review because it didn't work at all.
I spent 3 full days trying to get this to work with Strymon Librarian to manage presets on a Strymon Timeline before I had to give up. I tried literally everything to get this to work including switching the cables IN-IN, OUT-OUT instead of the regular way, I tried a powered USB hub, I tried downloading new drivers off the internet, and nothing worked. It still wouldn't establish a connection.
I knew it wasn't the pedal when it failed to connect with my MIDI Keyboard, and also it comes with some software for a program I never got to install, because it needs to have the hardware connected in order for it to install/work and it couldn't even recognize the interface on that.
Overall an incredibly frustrating, and awful product. Do yourself a favour and save yourself your money and your time. Don't make the same mistake that I did.

Incorrect title, description & image. Actual product is made & branded by Chinese company Prodipe. Thomann are using false advertising to scam with a grossly inferior product that is not fit for purpose. This misleading is probably in breach of EU trading standards.
Tried to return it but Enrico (who has 'customer care' in his job title) said "We could not find the Prodipe MIDI USB adapter purchased with this order but a Thomann Midi USB 1x1." Jokes. He also kindly pointed out it was a couple off days outside the return policy.
I thought I'd test it and then sell it on eBay but It wasn't recognised by PC or Mac. - compare this to my other MIDI gear from the likes of Focusrite, NI & M-Audio that works at the merest sniff of USB and you realise it's a terrible product - and abysmal customer service from Thomann.

Awful product
This product is completely unusable. Skips and sometimes sends the wrong note. CC64 information is also inconsistent.
Thomann should remove their name from the product as it tarnishes their reputation.

Useless if you use a pedal
This midi interface device made me angry when using it, as it is simply a cheap device that does not function properly. It confuses the signal from the pedal, to another key (another signal), because the design is not done properly. I do not recommend this product and would advice you to buy something from a better known brand.
However, if you simply have a cheap, little keyboard that you will never ever use with pedals, maybe you can use it?

Drove me mad
It ruined a perfectly fine jamming session and caused me to go on a debugging frenzy for days. I finally narrowed down the issue to this particular piece of equipment. I still wasn't sure until I saw the exact same issue in one of the reviews here.
It randomly drops MIDI signals which causes certain notes to be not pressed or not released. Pretty much useless.

terrible quality, falls apart, might not work at all
i would not recommend this item to anyone that needs to use a simple a midi interface. falls apart, doesnt work.
EDIT : got it work by reversing the IN/OUT plugs ... meaning this product was a defect. also it was my second version of this cable, the first version was totally broken and falling into pieces in my hand when i first touched it. Buyer beware.
PS : i'm using it right now but i wont be getting any more from this company

useless
Was trying to use a Roland TD-3 drummodule to midi-trigger a drum VST. On the box it says in chinese english "no driver need". Maybe that is true if you are connecting a modern midi device, but then you probably didn't need this in the first place. It's one of those products that don't work even when they are not broken.
