simple traveler question

Post by keith4hunter »

If you have a traveler and have it racked; do you have access to the side MIDI port still? I am considering ebaying my Firepod to get the traveler since I think it will play better with DP5; but I want to ensure I still have the one MIDI port available (when racked).

Thanks,

KEith

Traveller MIDI Port

The rack rails allow a few inches of air on the sides of the Traveller. A "right angle" MIDI plug would probably fit - although most of those cables are poor quality. Mine is in an "open" rack. I'll look tonight and see if a "straight" MIDI cable would fit in a closed rack. Probably so, but it will be close.

My traveler is racked and MIDI plugs fit perfectly... (the traveler is smaller than full size racks, so rack ears are larger and allows to plug any straight MIDI jack, i think)

I've got mine racked in a producer style desk. Plenty of room for cables and access if you need it. I love my Traveler but the Firepod is a good box too.
