Hi,
I'm switching from a PBC board to an axe fx setup with a MMGT16. From my old setup I have a bunch of snakes with two TRS leads in them, which are redundant now. I used one of the TRS's to run midi to my rack, which worked fine. But it wasn't bidirectinal. I was wondering if I could use the two TRS cables together and use them for bidirectional midi. This will save me some cabling and making new snakes. If I make small adapter boxes on either side, I thought it could work, am I right?
I thought i'd wire it like this:
Cable 1:
Sleeve (shield wire) -> Din pin 2
ring -> Din pin 5
tip-> din pin 4
Cable 2:
Sleeve (shield wire) -> Din pin 2
ring -> Din pin 1
tip -> Din pin 3
In that scenario I connect both jack sleeves to the midi ground/shield, am I right in doing that? Or am I setting myself up for trouble here?
Cheers
