That's why MIDI standard requires an opto-coupler. USB uses a differential signaling and can works without any galvanic isolation. -- Yves Guillemot _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
