That way I can eliminate the 2x8 connectors, the LCD, and the buttons. And I am in no need of a MIDI plug as it will always be used through USB. I assume those can be left out as well?
Sounds simple enough, but I keep seeing discussion about 'switched' connectors, ones that are normally open or closed, and the jack PCB that Synthex has prepared has spots for jacks with SIX connectors!
Ok, now I'm very puzzled. What is the purpose of stereo jacks? I assume that one signal (from say, tom 1) is carried on the "left" channel, and the other (say, tom 2) is carried on the "right" channel.

No. I'm going to be completing the 2.5 version. But I think the jacks problem would apply to both.kimouette wrote:Are you planning to build Syntex' all in one 2.7 version?
Thank you. This was very helpful information that I missed. Another question: what of mono jacks? They cannot be used?kimouette wrote:I also asked questions about the different types of jacks couple of weeks ago.
This was also helpful, especially for seeing the grounds. I am keen on putting the jacks onto a pcb so that I can keep the insides nice and neat (even if I have to learn eagle and design my own!).kimouette wrote:And take a look at Dmitri's built... You can clearly see how the jacks are wired, and the ground wire connects to all jacks : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=306
