Hi Guys.
Hopefully an easy one. The band I'm in uses visual clicks for count-ins
in some numbers, so there's a plan to give the drummer and the
guitarists a couple of boxes, each with an LED indicator responding to
a Midi to clock converter driven from the sequencer in a synth. The
plan is to have the unit in a 1U rack, with a couple of ordinary 1/4"
TS jack outputs to run to the LED boxes - anode = tip, GND = sleeve.
The cable runs would be up to 30 feet.
Can anyone see any potential problems using this scheme? The drive
voltage for the LEDs is 5V via a transistor on the board.
Any thoughts welcome.
cheers,
Dave
