Hey y'all! So I've had my Axe II and BJ Devices TB-12 MIDI controller since 2013. I'm very familiar with all of their functionalities.
Alright, so I had to make my own cables for my rig because I wanted a simplified setup; I wanted to only have to run a single cable (other than power) to my board. So I got a 50ft DB25 cable and put together TRS - MIDI adapters on a couple of the channels. Alright, so this has always worked well for me, never really had any problems. So, I just returned from a month abroad - I left my rig at home -and upon return, I CANNOT get the Axe and TB-12 to communicate coming or going.
I checked for continuity between all three connected pins on the MIDI plugs and they're all fine, so it isn't my soldering or the cables. I checked and tried changing the MIDI channels, that's not it. Tried reseating all the cables - nope. Restarting both units - nada. I just can't seem to figure out what it is. And the weird thing is that it was working perfectly right before I left, and it hasn't been turned on or touched for a month.
Any advice for troubleshooting would be great. Maybe I'm just overlooking something or not thinking to try something. Thanks so much in advance!
