Success! DMC Micro flashed to latest SW version. USB Midi read by MAC and editors Homebrew Midi > TRS cable passing data allowing DMC to change ENZO programs EXP trs Pedal data is reading in DMC. DMC is passing EXP data.. BUT only when the Enzo is set to MIDI OMNI [this took some swearing to find out] Now it is whammy time! Dear GOD what a faff though, spaghetti everywhere! DIN cables can do one. Now to tidy up the surgery, proof of concept is done though, and I am very happy. [ Spoke to soon, my Midi cable hack just died of plastic fatigue ffs.. hey ho, build a BETTER one 🙂] https://disasterarea.io/dmcmicro/#MultiJack > brilliant and free Enzo Editor and LIbrary > Amazeballs and free

Multifailing

Several reasons, I like to try make stuff, abelit badly in some cases 🙂 I don't have a midi cable, but i do have some vintage DIN/midi plugs in a box, a barrel jack socket and a bit shielded pair ... [ in a previous life, and with no previous knowledge, tools or internet, I reclaimed and rewired 120pin EDAC cables into interlinks for my mobile studio, from that I learned that one does not pick up a soldering iron and simply walk into mordor] Sauron's Multiplug Yeah, I could just buy the things pre-made from ebay, but where is the fun in that? And when I have f**ked it all up, and failed, but learned a few things then I will go to fleabay 🙂

I think you have already answered my query 🎉 I can just change the "jack" to a "socket" or chop the expression pedal cable and add a Midi plug. I have been known to massively over think things before now.

I think this is the hurdle I am trying to jump.. But I may not have been clear in my original question because I was already confused 🫠. Internet rumor has it that this should work per this vid "The connection path: EXP -(trs)-> DMCmicro -(midi)-> Meris midi I/O -(trs)-> Meris midi/exp input" My issue is that the expression pedal does not have a DIN so I need to convert the stereo Jack to a "MIDI" plug 🤯 For external control, the micro USB can hook up to the MAC and deal with the rest of the midi functions via the editor etc. [I hope]

new irrational prejudice is unlocked!

Thanks for the replies, I have scrounged up a few plugs and cables now so should be able to hack something together with a bit of T&E. I did search the interschtrumf but got more and more confusing and conflicting results the deeper I went, so came here for some sanity 🧐 Allegedly M'lud, for Meris The cable MIDI > TRS should be soldered like this: Pin 5 > Tip - Pin 2 > Shield - Pin 4 disconnected. We shall see. If I work it out will post the results here.

Bass brethren, I have ventured, probably very foolishly into midi madness. My question is, has anyone here made their own [or have any knowledge of] Midi [5pin] to TRS jack to link a DMC micro to a Meris Enzo? Any known pinout weirdness/issues or is it "standard" issue?

Bloody Capos or "Satan's Claw" I have a hard enough time working out what the guitar player is doing without them cheating. My heart sinks when they whip out a "well what fickin key are we in now" clamp.
