MIDI sync on/off Footswitch

There’s been some talk on various forums how the following device won’t work because there is not a logic board to control the MIDI messages. So I built one to find out. Works just peachy. All it is is an enclosure with two 5 pin MIDI ports that run across a footswitch. Pins 2 and 4. Crappy video is here:

. Cost about $12 in parts.
