Cheap MIDI cables
    #14049331 - 03/01/11 03:57 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys, I need to buy a bunch of MIDI cables. I'm not too concerned with quality as long as they quit on me after the first few days.

I'm mostly concerned with price. Any retail store I go to is going to charge up the price a lot...just because it's retail.

Anyone know of a good site to get decent-functioning cables for really cheap?

why don't you buy the connectors and then build them yourself?  they are simple.

How much effort does it take? I don't have too many tools to work with, but if it's simple enough, I would definitely consider the possibility.

I'll see if I can find the spec.  Depending on the connector you will probably just need wire strippers (thermal wire strippers are the best, but much too expensive)) and a soldering iron.  Get a decent iron (not a 'gun')
and some diagonal cutters.  Probably $20 for those but they will do a lot of jobs for you.

OK, here is a sample cable.  You don't need the active components in the diagram.  Just connect pins 5 and 4 between the two connectors..  That's what it looks like, I'm going to do a little more research because the connectors only cost about $2.  Let me know if you need more info.

Hmmm I can get 5 feet for $3, so I probably wont bother assembling my own.
Thanks for the effort though Starfire. I may try doing that someday with some cables that are a little less common/more expensive.

I knew that would be the tradeoff, the cost.  For longer cables it might be worth it, but if they are that cheap, i'd just buy the built ones.
