Hello there,

I m about to make my MD, to plug my roland HD1 to my PC.
All the cables of HD1 finished in a single DB25 plug. So what I would like, is to have both a DB25 and all the (17) jacks entry on my box, to be able to plug either the HD1 with DB25 or something else later on with the jacks (of course not both in same times). Is it possible just to have the cable linked in parallel or, do I need a switch with an other PCB etc. ?

Thanks for the enlightements...

Yes

Perfect ! thanks a lot Erules.

Can I bother you a bit more ? So the pin description of the HD1's DB25 connector I got from an other forum is the following :

Pin 1 Tip Crash
2 Sleeve Crash

3

4 Sleeve Kick
5 Tip Kick

6 Sleeve Tom 2
7 Tip Tom 2

8 Sleeve HiHat
9 Tip HiHat

10 Sleeve HiHat pedal
11 Tip HiHat pedal

12
13

14 Tip Snare
15 Sleeve Snare

16

17 Sleeve Tom 1
18 Tip Tom 1

19 Sleeve Tom 3
20 Tip Tom 3

21 Sleeve Ride
22 Tip Ride

23
24
25

Could you just give me some clue on how I translate that to the MD mapping :

1 - GND
2 - GND
3 - Power source for HiHat controller
4 - HiHat controller input
5 - Kick
6 - NC
7 - HiHat Bow
