H9 modification for MIDI power
March 29, 2019 - 11:11 am
Some product, for example, those from MIDI Solutions, rely on power being supplied by the connected MIDI Output socket.
H9's before Serial 16329 did not supply this power, but a simple modification can be made to remedy this.
Instructions are attached (ignore first page) - soldering is required, but it should only take 5 minutes for a skilled person.
This only applies to H9 - 'Factors do not have this issue.

I had no idea about this
I just assumed MiDi power was a no no
Thanks a lot for all this useful info!!
Would it be practical to send power out the unused pins of the MIDI ~INPUT~?
Cuz I could get behind self-powered MIDI controllers.
