Midi Cables... oooh sexy topic!

Post by nowaysj » Fri Jan 23, 2015 9:09 pm

Anybody making your own midicables?

I've got a bunch of long midi cables, I'd love to cut em in half and put new 5 pin plugs on the cut ends, double my # of cables, shorten my runs.

Anybody ever done such a thing?

I have only done it once.

Had 2 cables what were shitty and on either ends so I just soldered the head of one into the other.

Works, still use it.

I'm an old pro!

Naw, not really, but I've done some cables, switches, you know, just enough to be dangerous.

Lot easier than signal cables imo. I don't solder either on a regular basis though.
