Using Phantom Power
If your MIDI Controller's MIDI OUT port is a 7-pin port, then it can be powered via Phantom Power on Pins 6 & 7. You can supply both AC or DC 9-12v power to these pins. Polarity does not matter for these pins.
Some devices such as the Fractal Audio AxeFX2 can supply phantom power via it's MIDI IN port, which means that if you connect a 7-pin cable from the AxeFX2 MIDI IN port to the MC6 PRO MIDI OUT port, for example, the MC6 PRO can draw power from pins 6 & 7 and power itself.
Alternatively, there are some products such as the Rocktron 5-7 Pin MIDI Cable which splits pins 6 & 7 out to a DC port: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001J1K8OW
