kzmaier Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Hi, I'm trying to get motivated to build a midi patch bay using 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jacks as patching cables. The actual in/out midi connections would be standard 5 pin female midi connectors. My understanding is, I only need 3 signals from the midi 5 pin conn. I couldn't find a device like this on the interweb. Has anyone else done something like this? With the 1/8" stereo connectors one could always connect in other equipment as long as I follow the A or B 1/8" midi cable standard.

My thought (which I've used many times before) is to do a Google search, see what a whole bunch of others say, and then combine them to make what they say my own. I just searched "midi 5 pin din wiring" and found a number of hits that look worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Base 57 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I just installed new active pickups in an old Strat and thought to myself. "Maybe my next project should be a DIY midi patchbay." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
