Is there enough room in a nomad to internally mount the board? Or a genesis?

I would be very surprised, there was barely the room for me to replace the Nomads screen with a modern LCD and that was only a few mms thicker.  Couldnt tell you about genesis but I think that is far more likely.

Seb, thank you so much for all your work on this, its great to see you are developing it further and I am so glad I can go laptop free now you have added DIN in.  I cannot wait until I get mine!

I'd bet if you started with a new teensy with no header pins on it and built it to the MIDI board with ribbon cable (if you even wanted 5pin DIN) you could fit it. There's a lot of room in there, but that room is mostly pretty flat. That dome on the model 1 is just empty space though.

...I will say that soldering the shitty wires in the Genesis controller I tore apart was a pain in the butt (the wire is designed for CRIMPING, not soldering), but worth it. I'm enclosing it today and it will be very mobile. smile

I know you've worked it out Kineticturtle, looking good.
Just a tip I've used repairing headphone cables (foil woven with nylon thread, GRRRR!). Crimping  loose pins from a DB connector onto the wire helps or telephone spade or butt connectors (they'r made for 22-26 AWG wire. RS 64-3070 or 64-3073). The butt connectors allow a splice with a more  solder-able wire, and the spade can be clipped down in size and soldered direct to a board; no special crimp tool needed, just needle nose pliers.

Couldnt you just use a regular db9 cable with the jack?

True enough, a M/F jumper is the best approach, IMO. But the Sega side may have an issue with clearance for a standard DB9 Female plug, have to remove the mounting screws/nuts. Using a controller cable and installing a DB9 on the Gen/MDM side if you have a controller to gut.
Lots of choices, most times it has to do with what's in my junk box.

Yes, it has issues with this!

I've used a standard db9 con, but with the metal casing removed and the inner shell glued together smile)

got my 5 pin DIN midi installed
thank you for making this possible so fast, it has taken away all the noise I got from the USB connection smile

what about a 6 note Poly option, either on a separate MIDI channel or in a M4L patch
just an idea wink
