synthetic Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 Those original grey Alesis MIDI cables sound so warm and present. I've done many blind tests over the years, but I've never found a better sounding substitute. Hosa MIDI cables sound brittle and thin, while Pro Co cables are clear but a little on the icy side. I have a source for original Alesis cables if anyone is interested in upgrading. They're starting to get scarce, so grab 'em while you can. They will be worth a lot of money someday. -jl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markyboard Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 I'm using Mogami 2948 as in roll your own. Now I find more of my personality and character in every byte transmitted. plus its cheaper and each cable is built to the exact length needed. I wish I did this years ago.

Rod S Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 I find that most midi cables have a 'digital' quality to them. The best are the cv cables... all that analog warmth.

Bobro Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 I've been thinking that hydraulics would be the way to go for musical instrument interfaces...the rock stars could fill the Mogami I.V. tubing with single-malt scotch...I'd prefer not to think of what Marilyn Manson would use as a fluid. -CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to most afficionados that I know, single malt is not scotch - it's single malt. Scotch is always a blend... I'm not the expert here - just repeating what I've heard. I love trivia like that...e.g. if it isn't made in Kentucky, it ain't Bourbon... Back on topic, I prefer the ones with the metal ends. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted August 18, 2001 Author Share Posted August 18, 2001 To avoid latency, always use straight midicables. Every angle slows the data stream. However, if you cool down your midicables the resistence of the material decreases and the miditiming becomes much, much better. Now you understand why black midicables are not professional. They absorb the heat. ------------------ -- Pim -- www.dancewave.nl My Music I always wondered what happened after the fade out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthetic Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 I've heard that if you color the ends of the MIDI cable with a green sharpie they sound a little tighter. Your synths achieve better imaging and depth of field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your synths achieve better imaging and depth of field. You talk nonsense. Green absorbs 99 % of the infra-red light present in the spectrum. Too much IR-light will invert your pitch bend and all NRPM's. Unless you use a Roland SC-55 Sound Canvas... Can anybody explain why? ------------------ -- Pim -- www.dancewave.nl My Music I always wondered what happened after the fade out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
