It will also put your xx-7 out of warranty tho. I can't see the point
either, unless you *really* need to reduce the number of cables in your rig.
Even then a decent midi patchbay (such as the MOTU boxes) is a much more
sensible option. I must add that this mod doesn't increase the amount of
data that can be sent down a midi cable, it just allows 2 midi cables to be
combined into one cable.

Regards,

Stu

|No but I took an audiotronics course at Full Sail and my teacher

|MIDI rig containing five pieces of gear in a chain.  So they put
|three on one split of the cable, and two on the other, and the
|latency problem was solved.  I have a MOTU 8X8 interface, which
|rocks btw, but if you think this quick fix might be helpful, it's
|not very expensive to try out.  You just need three MIDI cables, a
|soldering iron, some solder, and some jumpers.  If it doesn't
|work, you could always solder them back the way they were.
|
|Sorry I can't be more of assistance, but in theory it should work.
