The "bigger" ones have UARTs that you can use for MIDI, or you can just bit-bang the interface. I'm currently working on a simple CV/Gate sequencer based on a PIC, derived from some code I found on the net. Gordon

I plan on using the Arduino for this type of controller. http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/ArduinoMini There is a nice PD interface built for it, that you could program a MIDI out add on if you want to use the signals in something other than Pure Data. Here is a project that used the Arduino to make a MIDI Drum Kit and Spooky Sound Trigger: http://todbot.com/blog/2006/10/29/spooky-arduino-projects-4-and-musical-ard… IMHO the AVR controllers are more versatile than the PIC controllers and the Arduino is designed as a simple i/o board suitable for DIY projects. -- Jeff (another aerospace engineer) Daniel Garmendia wrote: -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/DIY-or-inexpensive-MIDI-Controller-tf3639039.html#a10… Sent from the linux-audio-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
