[sdiy] midi cable

[harry]

If you just need MIDI... you can get away with as few as two wires...
no shielding. This will not allow ALL MIDI functions (but I'm not sure
which ones use the extra pins) Help me here guys... is it MIDI sync or
something ???

IMHO... if you are not running MIDI cables through HELL (or tying them up with
low level audio in nice tidy looking and electrically WRONG WRONG WRONG
bundles...

... shielding is not necessary.
