Guest profleo Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Johnc.I think that your best bet is to use the serial (RS232) interface capability of the MIDIBox. The serial interface is capable of sending and receiving using long cables. It has been mentioned that 4000’ can be used with an extremely good cable. Your 75’ should be no problem with a good cable. You will then avoid using mid distance boosters and other home made products. See http://www.arcelect.com/rs232.htm I don’t know what research is behind the information in this page but I think it worthwhile looking into.Prof Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednas Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 If this doesn't work you can also use a secondary computer, like a Pentium I with midiconnection, and use MidiViaNet, which sends midi over private networks. In this case your normal computer can stand where it is used to stand. But RS232 would be better.http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/MidiViaNet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednas Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Here is another schematic + driver for win95 (and 3.1) it might work for win98. Maybe you can instaall the driver first. If that doesn't work, don't build the circuit.http://home.concepts-ict.nl/~nctnico/midi.htm#l11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednas Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Another idea use:Dutch: glasvezelDeutch/english? glassfiberI don't know if you've got to use a led or a laser for this one, but you've got to transform the midibytes into lightpulses, transport them through glassfiber and than transform this back. This is like a long range optocoupler, normaly used to isolate the midiapparatus. (6N138 if I'm not mistaking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
