I am interfacing between arduino and MIDI devices. Newer MIDI devices are likely to have 3.3 volts on the receive/transmit lines, whilst older devices 5 volts. What happens if you connect a 5v device to a 3.3 volt device?

MIDI 5v and 3.3 volt

Great. It can sink and source 50mA, so that should be adequate
