Does the Zoom power up from USB if the external power is disconnected?
Rx and Tx connected the right way round? (They can be a tad ambiguous depending on what is seen as the 'source'.)

May have misread - by "does nothing", do you mean it doesn't power up when only connected to the USB board?
And...
When connected to both and powered up, what LEDs are lit on the USB board?

Ah, good to know that it works. I was beginning to think if was for some USB/MIDI thing that plugs straight into the computer and gets seen as a MIDI device right away.
Green and blue sounds good.
What happens if you also connect the MIDI Rx line to Tx on the USB board? From this...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_1.0
...it seems that both are needed (pins 4 & 5 form the current loop, I believe).
Might need to plug it into a MIDI Thru or some sort of distribution box/thing if you want to have more than one device connected. MIDI setup is usually done with cables into sockets, so a parallel connection like you have wouldn't normally happen.
Can you link to the regulator that you added? Methinks I'm going to order one of these.

Indeed. This regulator?

Interesting. My phone is too old to do the TonePrint thing, but I have done it over USB - didn't realise the comms is MIDI. I'd take a guess at a sysex message.
