I would like to use the MODX8+ with a MIDI Solutions Event Processor, but before I purchase one, can anyone confirm if the MODX8+ provides 5V power through the MIDI out port?
I don't have MODX+ schematics but MODX (not plus) supplies 3.3V out MIDI. Since the MIDI Solutions Event Processor (Plus and also Standard models) do not show they are "Multivoltage" - these will require 5V. It would be good to confirm if MODX+ supplies 5V or not. If not, then MIDI Solutions suggests using a power adapter inline such as MIDI Solution's Power Adapter. See the FAQ page on MIDI Solution's website.
I would doubt the newer product would use 5V since MIDI 3.3V is a newer spec to adhere to and MIDI Solutions itself says they are working on creating multi-voltage versions of all of their products to adhere to the new spec. From what I can say none of the event controllers have been updated. You may, however, also want to contact MIDI Solutions directly to make sure this is true.
