Is it possible to attach ( with a proper connector ) an "isolated" midi
device directly to the soundblaster
midi joystick iinterface? I don't feel like building a full opto
IIRC, the receiver of the midi interface is the opto-isolated part. It's
a current loop with an active transmitter and a passive receiver.
In which case you will need to add an opto-isolator, but probably not
much else. I would think you could build a much cut-down version of the
interface.
