Hello all, I am new to the forum but a long time reader and RJM supporter.
I have a project I am working on for a musician and am trying to figure out the best way to achieve this result.
GEAR OUTLINE
- An onstage rack behind the guitarist/vocalist that houses an H9000 vocal processor amongst amps etc
- Downstage pedal boards with some midi controllable pedals
- Downstage RJM GT16 that controls the H9000 and will control the midi compatible pedals when this build is complete.
THE DESIRED OUTCOME
I want to phantom power the GT16 from the rack using a 7 pin XLR as connections between the rack panel and a junction box that will live on the GT16 pedal board. This is all well and good as I can then convert back to 7 pin DIN using the junction box and connect to the GT16 Midi Out port.
However, I also want to send midi to the pedals on the pedal boards at the guitarists feet. To do this i envisioned being able to split the midi internally in the junction box that the 7 pin xlr would connect to.
Basically 2 x outputs on one side of the box and 1 x output on the other. 7 pin hits the box, goes across to the 7 pin DIN connector on the other side of the box, then I tap off pins 2,4,5 of the that connector and connect them to a 5 pin DIN on the other side of the junction box which would then feed midi to the pedals on the pedal board. I may go in to a splitter and feed each pedal its own midi signal, or I may chain them together.
I know its maybe not a good idea to split midi passively, but Im trying to figure out the cleanest way to have only 1 cable running from the rack to the board and also send midi/DC where it needs to go.
Any thoughts on the junction box would be appreciated.
