Verified

MIDI leaves the motherboard in Rev B and becomes two jacks on the rear rail. The active parts stay behind — the optocoupler, its resistor and diode, and the output resistors all remain on the motherboard — so this board carries the jacks, one connector and ESD protection on the output, and nothing else.

Notes, control changes and SysEx all came back in order through a TRS loop on 2026-10-29.
