[SLUG] midi/soundcard cable

2003-06-06 Thread Christopher Vance
I'm wanting to use my machine to do a few musicky things with my
ancient synthesizer, and have installed Planet CCRMA on Red Hat 9 for
that end.  Is there anywhere better than a Dick Smith for a MIDI to
soundcard DB cable?

Putting two and two together, are you going to Dick Smith to buy
a joystick plug and a DIN plug and some wires?

That won't work -- it's not just a cable, it has some electronics
(small enough to fit in the plug) in it.  So don't just buy the ends
and wire them together.

You can build your own with the right bits though, I'm sure
a google will find you some plans.

cheers,
