taking power from midi
Posted: Mon Aug 26, 2013 11:31 pmdoes the midivampire rely on the midi connector shield being grounded? I'm asking because not all midi cables have the shields connected, so in that case the midivamp wouldn't work with them.

Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 6:43 amgood question. the MIDIvampire requires a 3-conductor MIDI cable, but does not require the shield to be grounded. the ground line is via the middle pin on the connector and not the shield. but, there are some cheap 2-conductor MIDI cables out there, so its something to watch out for.
