Actually midi seems to be something that drives an led inside the opto-
coupler. So it doesn't matter if that signal is 5V to ground or 2.5V to -2.5V.
As long as the two "signals" are not connected to anything besides the opto-
coupler in the receiving device, all is well.
The book on my desk with electronic-nifties for studios labels the two pins
used by midi as signal+ and signal-...
Have fun,
