Hi all !

Im on the FM3 wait list down here in Oz ...... I also already have a Morningstar MC6 6 Button Midi Foot switch which can be USB Port powered.

So ..... now that the FM3 is officially shipping ..... my plan is to connect the Morningstar MC6 to the FM3 via the 2 Traditional Midi I/O ports -and then- use a male-to-male USB 2 Type B cable [which I also already have] to power the Morningstar MC6.

Will this work (?)

Thanks,
Ben
 
Well USB 2.0 provides 5volts @100mA from what I gather. Possibly maxing out at 500mA.

I'm curious what this port will be used for after future firmware updates. Me? I just want to load up one of those tiny USB thumb drives with backing tracks to jam along to. But id be using the fm3 for mostly practicing.
