7u case midi ports reusable?

I don’t know what the Nerdseq uses to connect to it’s expander. Maybe go and ask XOR about that.
I will however make a better version of that adapter (the prototypes are all gone anyway).

Hi, this is slightly tangential (USB instead of MIDI), but do I understand the pin-out correctly, that pins 7-10 expose the USB connections as well? So if I had a module with a USB connection under the hood (running off of a Teensy, for example), I could make a cable to connect the module’s USB to the header in order to use the case’s USB port to connect to the Teensy?

And is this the same on Palette cases as well?

Thanks

Yes, those are the pins for the USB connector. Should work in theory connected to a module behind the hood …

Rad, thank you!

Would this be possible to get midi from case, to midi1u, thru to disting ex? with the midi on the 4u case and a newer midi 1u? Does the newer midi 1u have the same plug layout as the midi jack pcb mentioned here?

I’m trying to figure out if this could work if I just used some jumper cables:

From case pcb
input pins 4,5
to midi 1u
Input pins 4,5

From midi 1u
Thru pins 4,5
To disting ex
Input pins 4,5

From disting ex
Output pins 4,5
To palette case
Output pins 4,5

Can it possibly work like this?

Edit: nvm looks like the disting is 50mm deep so won’t fit in the 4u pallette :frowning:

Hey kamil,

Would i use regular jumper cables to make these connections?

Sorry im no electronics expert, but im sure i can connect a few jumper cables!

looooong time coming but I finally fixed the issues of the rev1 board.

The new board is supposed to be attached with double sided tape it the case (all the parts to one side.
The input is auto crossover so it would work nicely with the TRS jack of a palette, that said: I do not own a palette case I don’t know if there is enough space.

What it does:

  • It provides MIDI thru to the case outputs in absence of an Intellijel midi module
  • It has a loop thru for an Intellijel module (you can then select who is driving the outs with switches)
  • 6 internal MIDI signals to modules that accept them (so all my MIDI enabled modules have internal inputs too)
  • 5V Loop pins to those internal thru (so you can drive Expert Sleeper stuff - to be tested)

Not sure if this will be the final version … but so far I like it
