I have purchased 5-pin dins, from Digikey.com. I believe they have different types, angled surface mount etc... You might check allelectronics.com too, I believe I might have seen some there also. -Good luck

I understand what you are saying Screamin rabbit, and you are right- But to clear up what I was saying....... I was just stating in most cases the soundcard is to blame for latency involved with midi to software synths , and the other ports would not make up for the difference. (late sounds using software related synths etc...) Generally the different interfacing ports are just another option, especially if you only have two midiports and need them free for other standard midi gear. Sorry for the confusion ;D

Jakeone- Regarding your issues to using different ports for interfacing. The standard midiport runs at a certain baudrate The com port baud rate is clocked a little faster than standard midi I believe the usb might be clocked the same as com, but don't quote me on that, I cannot remember off the top of my head. Basically they all run midi equally, with hardly any differenece as I see. When you refer to latency, generally it is contributed to your soundcard and not to your midi setup (well maybe unless your are using tons of outboard gear in serial) usually latency refers to the response time a soundcard can produce the sound when it is told to. If you are requiring smaller latency times I would suggest looking into buying another soundcard for your computer, as the different port types are generally used for your choice of connection.

The piezo would send voltage signals when activated. These need to be interfaced with a project such as midibox64. If you check "Latest News" in the forum there are similar projects involving drum triggers. The piezo would send basic voltage on/off signals to some opamps and components, which would control the sensitivity/usable voltage range for the piezos. These signals would then be inputed in either the analog or digital ins for controlling midi on/off messages. Just inserting them into an amp would not be of any use, mainly these are used to trigger midi messages. If you constructed a midi trigger module, you could then send the midi signal to your computer/hardware synths and control synth/drum sounds from your program of choice. -Hope this helps

Hey I haven't built my SID arrangement yet, but I am sure you are able to use the input to route through the filters of the SID.

Hey I just bought a Novation KS4!!! I am going to flip if fedex doesn't get here sooner. Hey we should start a gear listing so others can review, compare etc..... I havent seen much of that around

Maybe next convention we can set up NET MIDI, with video conferencing ;D Find a spot with a ton of synths, and have a multi-mix live on the net. Then I can finally tweek from the corn-state, hell lets tweek all over the globe. 8)

I noticed the presonus pre-amp. I love that pre-amp, I believe it's the best $100 i've spent. Congratulations on your new monster seq, I can't wait to build one myself.

I would love to also... but I am from INDIANA!!!!! I support the efforts entirely though ;D

I do not believe so :) Mainly it runs on Sample-Preset level, with modulation available for certain zones. It's one of the more ancient EMU samplers, but it is powerful once you get past CPU speed for making edits. How much did you pay for your E4xt ?

Check here, it's easy to find the pinouts just google "db25 pinout" etc..... http://www.zytrax.com/tech/layer_1/cables/tech_rs232.htm
