I've certainly never seen one, and I doubt you'd ever find one. They carry entirely different types of data. What do you need it for?

It's not as simple as throwing in a little adapter. MIDI is a digital data signal that has to be translasted, it's just 0's and 1's, MIDI is NOT audio. 1/4 inputs transmit an audio signal. If it is essential to go MIDI to 1/4, then you will have to run the MIDI to a processor/translator (Like a computer) and then run a 1/4 from the processor to the desired 1/4 jack. The majority of MIDI instruments, like pianos, have a 1/4 out or RCA out or something that you can transmit as an audio signal to a 1/4 input. What are you wanting to do?

thanks

You need some sort of midi program and have the ability to hook up your keyboard via usb.
