I have some FTDI FT232RL based serial (TTL) USB converters. Today a hooked one of them up to the wavetable connector of an ESS Solo-1 based sound card, pin 4 (TTL-MIDI) and pin 3 (digital ground) of the wt connector to RX and ground on the FTDI board. After modifying the FTDI driver to 31250 bps it seems like it's working fine with the "Hairless MIDI<->Serial" utility.
As I'm not an electronics guru I wonder if this direct connection between the sound card and FTDI board is a good idea or is it recommended to have a circuit between?
