Sick thanks everyone!
"I would say so!

Excellent news and thanks for breathing some life into this thread!! I’m
starting to think maybe the Arduino mega could be a better option for
prototyping with Midi as it doesn’t require a logic level shift from the
pins MIDI wants 5V, and the mega still has four UARTS as I would love to
receive/send information from a few different inputs going to few different
outputs, i.e. MIDI keyboard/Drum pad routing to external synths.

you out either way, RTOS or base arduino. Maybe we should have a hack
day once we have recovered a bit more…

I would love a hack day! I think the mega’s the way because of the
badge’s 3v thing, but the screen is the coolest part on the badge, I
totally wanna take that off and have a simple menu, graphic interface to
whats going on. Also once the screens off it encourage me to find the other
2/3 and get a free ticket to the next EMF!
"USB MIDI is fairly easy using something like a Minimus - I’ve built a USB
MIDI to LED thingamajig using one, which maps MIDI notes onto a LED strip
using different brightnesses and colours. That’s just a MIDI OUT device but
it should be possible to do both IN and OUT to transform the MIDI stream.
But then again, if you are going to do that, there’s no need for any
hardware at all, you can just do the whole thing in software on a PC using

I don’t think it needs to be USB over midi, I would like to control a few
different external modules/synths that all take just MIDI, like the Korg
Volca stuff, it’s so awesome and built for hacking and quite cheap for the
awesomeness it provides! Ideally all I wanna do is make a brain like device
for midi that augments the ability to perform without routing through a
computer, Atmel doesn’t count!
I have stupidly written some algorithms for jazz in Max/Msp:

that into tiny little device if possible!On 17 September 2014 22:34, Alan Burlison alan.burlison@gmail.com wrote:
