(though you'd need something on the software side to make midi).<br></blockquote><div><br>Actually this isn't true, the new "Uno" model of the Arduino (as opposed to the ancient "Duomilanova") as it uses an <span class="wikiword">ATmega8U2 USB interface chip rather than the FTDI chip the "Duomilanova" uses. Basically, you can reprogram the 8U2 to appear as a "standards complaint" USB MIDI device, and then it will just pop up in ALSA's MIDI tab. Neat eh?<br>
<br>Then all that you need to do is write "midi data" (integers) to TX... For a "hardware" MIDI port aswell as USB MIDI just solder a 5 pin DIN to the project, using the Arduino's TX pin :)<br><br>
