RE: [chromapolaris] Help! Couple of issues...

Also I made an assumption that I probably should not have made... they may well be using pin 2 as the return and not the shell. I think I just read somewhere that some interfaces use the shell as a ground/return so I assumed that's what this device was doing.
According to the Polaris schematic, pin 2 and the shell of the MIDI output connector are both connected to chassis ground. I'm not too keen on connecting the shell to digital ground, but connecting pin 2 might not be so bad? If it turns out the interface is using pin 2 as a return maybe I'll try that.
