Hey Jerry -
I've got another question for you.
I've got a Roland GFC-50 and was wondering if you could replace the 5 pin midi jack on the unit with a 7 pin midi jack and use the two extra pins to deliver power to the device (point to point wiring from the pins to the power jack, internally).
Rocktron does this with their pedals and they also market a 25' midi cable that's 5 pin midi on one end (with a y-chord that you can plug your power adaptor /wall wart into) and it's 7 pin midi on the other end.
I've even got an old rocktron midimate footpedal that can be cannibalized for parts if we need to.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks -

I don't think that's anything I could do. I really wouldn't know till I looked at the pedal, but chances are the 5 pin DIN jack is mounted to a circuit board so a 7 pin DIN jack wouldn't fit in without some major re-construction. They also probably use all surface mount components inside the Roldand which I'm not equipped to handle. Jerry
