The first part of my project is under testing! ⚡ TURN ON THE SOUND! 🔊
Basic idea: creating a MIDI box with a USB converter.
For this purpose I'm using the Teensy microcontroller 👾
↪️ Direction 1: from USB to MIDI
Teensy is configured as a MIDI device and is capable of catching MIDI messages coming from the USB.
At the moment the MIDI OUT circuitry is not implemented yet, because I need to use another device to catch the MIDI messages and process them.
↪️ Direction 2: from MIDI to USB
Here I set up the MIDI circuit to catch the messages through the DIN 5 interface. I tested part of it by connecting a MIDI keyboard 🎹 and a DAW ⌨️
The Teensy simply forwards MIDI messages to USB.
Linux "amidi" utility is soooo useful for this purpose 🐧
