| I have a profex 2 and wanting to buy a gecko midi switcher so I can change my effects while playing. The problem is the profess has a 8pin midi outlet and the switcher has a 5 pin... I've been looking and looking for a midi cable with 8pin male on one end and 5pin male on the other. Or maybe an adapter for the ends? Does anyone know or have any ideas about this? |

| Peavey makes a foot controller for the cable that is used with the ProFex. I have one for my ProFex and TubeFex. It you can't find an adapter, that may be an answer to your problem. |

Shannon, if it's 8 pin, I don't think it's midi. Kinda like if it's not 6 pin, it's not Ethernet. 8 pin DIN must be something else, like the Peavey controller.

The Peavey DIN cable system is definitely midi. And if memory serves me right, the extra 2 wires were for powering their various controller accessories. For instance my Session 2000 uses the RC2000 midi controller, but that controller will work with the Profex I and II, the TubeFex, and TranstubeFex. The RC2000 has a power supply jack (16vac), but you don't need to use it if you're using one of the above effects boxes and the 8 pin DIN cable.

I don't see pins 6-8.

| Try the 5 pin to 5 pin standard midi cable. It will plug into the 8 pin female on the Profex. The extra pins in the 8 pin cable are for power and LCD display on the Profex pedal board. The rest of the pins are standard midi data |

Thanks Ken. As usual, Mr. Fox is on target. I have used a standard 5 pin MIDI controller/cable on the Peavey xxx Fex units through the 8 pin jacks and they work fine.
