RE: Small midi foot controllers redux

["William Walker" <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

 I don't know what you read, but the manual does not  say anything about
that, download the manual, Are you reading the E-bay copy? Yes Rocktron
makes a 7 pin cable for phantom powering but the manual states that any 
midi
cable can work. They of course would prefer you buy there cables. Come on
Luis think about it, No company in their right mind would make a midi
controller product, advertise it as such, and then make the customer buy
their proprietary cable. Go to the web site, perhaps I shouldn't have sent
along the E-Bay url but that’s the first thing that made me aware of this
product.

seems cool Bill but be careful, it requires a 5-7 pin midi cable, that ONLY
Rocktron makes!
