I want to interface a cheap midi controller such at this - https://www.amazon.com/ammoon-EasyControl-9-Portable-Slim-Line-Controller/dp/B01DKQZFSC to a teensy 3.6 with the teensy audio shield.
The control message from the midi device will be linked to various attributes of the audio components - delay time, filter cutoff, etc. It looks like all the smaller/newer controllers only have a USB interface, and not the "old" 5-pin round connector.
SO what options to I have to interface such a setup?

THanks

If the device only has USB, you would need something to act as a HOST and can recognize USB MIDI Class compliant devices in order to extract the data, then send it out a serial port instead.

You may be better off buying a proper MIDI controller with DIN connectors, or building your own. Teensy LC's are a great platform for custom building your own MIDI controller. No, it won't be as cheap as the one you linked if you need a lot of encoders and switches, but sometimes the only to get what you need is DIY.
