Guest mattcarus Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hi, this one' been bugging me for the last hour or so. What's the correct wiring for the midi output from the 15 pin port on a soundcard.I've seen a diagram on ucApps but can't find it again.Searching on google just gives 5 pin din -> 5 pin din.Cheers, Matt Carus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moebius Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hi.That soundcard (Joystick)/midi port needs a special adapter cable or "soundblaster midi cable" for Google ;)Like:http://www.cryogenius.com/hardware/sbmidi/orhttp://www.midwest-analog.com/diysb16.htmlAnd as you can see it's not that special at all.. ;) Nice practice for midibo.. other DIY projects.t.

Guest mattcarus Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 OK, cheers, that circuit looks familiar.More parts to buy...Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 HiI made my MIDI cable from:http://home.insightbb.com/~tomatwell/midi/pc_midi.gifIt don't have buffer on the midi out, but it works good for me. Without the buffer IC i was able to stuff the optocoupler and the other components in the housing for the DB15 connector :)Another question:I didn't get hands on 33pF caps for the XT resonance circuit on the CORE in my eager to get the CORE running so i stuffed it with 2*22pF instead. Anyone see problems with that ?/Wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moebius Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Ok,I once tried to stuff one of those circuits with buffer IC in to DB15 shell (point to point wiring) and gave up ;) Maybe I should have another attempt.. maybe eith that using transistors as buffer.I don't know about those caps.. BUT It's simply microcontrollers external resonator clock, so If got it running with 22pF I don't see any reason to change those ;)t.
