Having trouble seeing any comparison, RJ-11 is standard phone jack while RJ-45 is standard network connection (which is what the Lemur uses). Are they planning on releasing any other types of connectors?, cause most laptops these days dont even have an RJ-11 socket anymore.
yeah .. give us RJ-45 and we can talk again .. but i would think its not impossible.
Why do you need an rj45?
The ipod/ipad has bluetooth… and you can transmit midi too.
why is everything goodbye lemur this and goodbye lemur that?
It’s kind of like saying new deer rifle-goodbye .50 cal sniper rifle
new ford taurus-goodbye mclaren
idk i just don’t get it.
because bluetooth and wifi are both not as low latency and more importantly can fall apart more easily in a crowded high tech environment. rj-45 would be tons more reliable.
Unless a party goer who happens to have a pair of scissors and a bad streak when they have had too much tequila comes by and snips the cable.
Hey, it happens, just sayin.
Ah, the classic ‘punter with a pair of scissors’ scenario.
I’ve lost count of the number of times that’s happened to me.
