Q: USB-C cables and adapters

Since the new MacBook 12" only has one USB-C port, I assume that I could use adapters and cables to connect it to USB2, USB Flash Drive, and Ethernet.

 

I needed to connect to my music synthesizer, which used to connect to a PC laptop with a midi to USB interface cable.  In order to connect the synthesizer, I bought a USB-C male to USB2 male cable, but I realized that I needed a female USB2 instead.  I then got a female to female USB2 adapter.   Disappointingly, it's not working.  Then, I tried only the USB-C/USB2 cable with an adapter to connect with a USB2 flash drive.  It's not working either.

 

Isn't these right?

MacBook-----USB-C male/USB2 male end cable-----female/female adapter-----USB2 male/midi interface cable----- synthesizer


MacBook-----USB-C male/USB2 male end cable-----female/female adapter-----USB2 Flash drive


I did plug the midi cable back to the PC to see if it would still work with the synthesizer.  It did work like before.

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
