Hi, In terms of what data can be transmitted and received: USB and dedicated MIDI sockets will bee exactly the same.
The possible advantage of using USB is the data transmission rate may be faster. The possible advantage of using MIDI sockets is that you don't need a computer - e.g. you can connect a keyboard directly to a module for live performance. If using USB, you'd probably need a computer between them. Hope this helps. James.
