lsj Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I have a little trouble getting to the back of a couple of my synths in my music room. would there be any problem if I left the midi in or out cable attached to the synth I am using and not connected to anything else. same with the usb cable , is it ok to have the usb cable connected to the keyboard and the other end open and not connected to a computer. that way if I need the synth hooked up to a synth module or a computer the cord is there easily for connection.
johnchop Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Sure! Shouldn’t be a problem. I make software noises.
JamPro Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 The oldest piece of digital gear in my studio is a MOTU Midi Express midi computer interface. I leave the midi cables plugged into that unit and have for the past 15 years, even tho' I connect the distal ends of those cables to one of my keyboards only rarely. I have never experienced a problem. And even tho' that MOTU midi interface is over 15 years old, MOTU still makes drivers for it and recently released a firmware upgrade. Yeah! for companies who continue to support the gear they make!!
Baldwin Funster Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I guess as long as the cable doesn't get caught on something as it's hanging loose on one side. It will possibly have bus power live and unterminated, IDK if that matters. FunMachine.
