philodox Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 Since the digital EQ/Dac that I'm planning on useing this with has MIDI input and outputs, could I use something like this instead? I don't know much about MIDI connections, are they analog or digital? http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UM3EXd/ Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Neither (well, technically it's digital) -- MIDI is a proprietary connection used for musical devices. It sends things like "note on at pitch F# on channel 10" and then "note off on channel 10" and so on -- not very useful for anything other than people like me (synthesists), pretty much. Quote
philodox Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 Ah, thanks for the explanation. \ Quote
philodox Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 What do you think of this? [ame=http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-Groove-Music-Software-Headset/dp/B0002X8624]Amazon.com: M-Audio Groove Lab Music Software with MH1 Headset and Mic: Musical Instruments[/ame] I'd have to get it shipped to someone in the US, but that looks like a great deal for a rebadged transit, some possibly interesting software and a shitty pair of headphones w/mic that I could use should i ever need such a thing.

Looser101 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 How about this one? http://www.softmagic.ca/_e/Film_Scanners/product/A15%2DBBM31%2DC/product.asp?pf_id=9900%2D40905%2D00&dept_id=16-003 It will probably be about the same price after all the other costs are added up. Quote
philodox Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks Renato, that's perfect. Quote
lostonetr Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 is the transit unit in the Groove pack exactly the same as a normal transit? It's a great deal if it is. Quote
philodox Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Posted January 23, 2008 As far as I can tell from searches, it is. Even if it's not though, knowing my insanity level and access to DIY people, it will be modded in the future anyways. Quote
Looser101 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 I hope you ordered it. Click on my link again to see the new price. Quote
philodox Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 Thank you for shopping at Softmagic. The item you have selected is discontinued by the manufacturer. We will not be receiving any more of those units. This order is cancelled. We apologize for the inconvience. Quote
lostonetr Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 that sucks....was it just a forgotten listing left on their webpage until you ordered it? Quote
Shiki Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 What about this? http://www.roland.com/products/en/UA-1EX/ It has 3.5mm to Toslink optical outs. Quote
