Topic: Help- Mini disc player needed Posted: 12/20/06 at 11:12am |
Hey,
Does anybody out there have a source for getting my hands on a mini-disc player for my CT? We've been doing our sound using the MD player for the last few seasons but have been using borrowed equipment. I don't want to go back to using CD's as we can never get the cues as tight as we need them. I want to buy one of my own. Needed for a show in April. Playwright |

Amendment to my previous post. Mini disc palyer needs to have keyboard input capabilities.

I was about to post a reply stating that used minidisc players are often posted on eBay - the portable one that I have and use regularly was purchased that way - but I am a bit confused by your additional statement, that it needs to have keyboard input capability.
Do you want to record from an electronic musical instrument keyboard? Do you want to run cues from a computer keyboard?
I hope you mean the former, and not the latter. Just about any moderately good minidisc deck will have RCA jacks in the back for both line input and line output, and some have microphone input jacks as well. Some more recent portable minidisc players don't have such standard inputs, so they can't be used for making virtually lossless illegal copies of CDs, but there are other ones out there that do have such inputs. If your keyboard has mic level outputs, rather than line outputs, you may need to run the signal through a mixer or a direct box before connecting it to the recorder.
If it is the latter, I can't help you. That sort of system requires a complex, usually non-standard communication protocol.
Something like the following should serve your needs, if it is the former you spoke of...
or
I hope that helps!

Thanks for the info. Here's wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and excellent holiday season. Travel safe if yor're travelling. We have no snow here at all and spring like temperatures. Ski resort operators are very unhappy. No white Christmas this year. It's calling for rain!!!!
