Subject: Phantom power, anyone?
I'm thinking of using the MIDI phantom power feature of my MP-1 (which
will require a mod to the controller).
Irritatingly, this uses pins 6 and 7, which means that a 7 pin cables
is
needed, even though standard MIDI leaves two pins unused.
I'd like to use the 5 pin cable I already have.
I looked into this, and evidently, the reason might be that some
devices
can accept a reverse MIDI stream using the two unused pins out of the
five.
It should be a very easy mod to jumper pin 6 and 7 to 1 and 3.
