<p>If you have the space and budget, use two optocouplers: one for
each direction, that allows you even to sense which direction it
is. </p>
<p>(So you can change the output too...)</p>

<div>Oops, that has been solved in commercial products for
over 5 years. </div>
<div>But without those extra diode voltage drops! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(Assuming 1.9 V drop for the optocoupler and 2 x 0.3 V
drop for the Schottkys, and the new 3.3 V (+/- 5 % on the
lower side) logic level, there's 0.635 V left for the 220
ohm resistor. The current is then only 2.9 mA, far below
the required 5 mA. Oops2!)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(It would need to have 127 ohms instead of 220. But
with 5 V (+/- 10 % on the higher side) logic level, and
1.9 + 0.3 + 0.3 V voltage drops, you get 3 V over the
resistor. 23.6 mA is above the specified Abs Max input
current of the 6N138 optocoupler suggested in the MIDI
spec, even if the 6N137 used here will survive. Oops3!)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm sure similar gender-agnostic TRS MIDI In jack
solutions must have been implemented by several
manufacturers by now? It was a bit weird to see different
brands using different polarities when TRS MIDI emerged,
and even more strange to see MMA omit a solution for it in
the new standard. :-) </div>

<div>Thanks for the reading tip, Andrei!</div>

<div>PS: I wrote "TS" in my first message, mistake - should
have been "TRS". Sorry.</div>
