Eric is right. Looking at the photo of the MatrixBrute pack panel on the Arturia site, = it has a USB-B connector. You won=E2=80=99t find an LED that connects to = USB-B. You also won=E2=80=99t find a USB-B jack that provides power, = unless it=E2=80=99s in violation of the USB specifications. There=E2=80=99= s a reason that every classic USB cable has a USB-A plug on one end and = a USB-B plug on the other end - that=E2=80=99s so you can tell the = difference between Host and Device types when you=E2=80=99re trying to = connect two things.
