Ever wonder about the differences between MIDI interfaces and other hardware?  Me too.  I just uploaded some interesting info for you DIY builders:

man. how useless to have something spitout data just because its not connected.

what would you do if you ordered something only to realise that you only need 3/4 of all the controllers and decide to leave them until later? should just be able to leave them, unconnected.

so how you work around that? breakout box with the extra controls? short them until theyre needed?

yes. ground each unused control input and the system goes stable.

Also, on a side note. Any high frequency AC devices nearby your unshielded DIY controller will ALSO cause spurious and unpredictable signals to generate.
