RE: can you use mic cable to wire midi cable?

[J Johans <parispro00@hotmail.com>]

awesome!

glad to hear someone else has tried it-

since you brought up the multicore, i would greatly appreciate any suggestions on the subject if you get some time-

i need a 12ch multipin - 15 would be super nice

these are the ones im aware of-

elco connectors scare me as ive had problems with pins reccessing back into the connector-

ramlatch is way too much =D

i enjoy the whirlwind w2 series with the 1/4 turn locking systems and well priced, but still close to $1000 just for 2 fanouts---

im wondering if you know of any more options? or a good multipin connector thats cheap and not impossible to solder for a DIY project-

thanks again, im looking forward to cleaning up this rats nest
