Midi on serial port #52

Open giovannibotta opened 5 years ago

giovannibotta commented 5 years ago

Hi I’m trying to understand whether it’s possible to output midi signals directly on a serial port connected to a standard din connector, in addition to USB. The application for this is to control devices that only have din support and/or without a host computer. Looking at the code, it doesn’t seem supported but I might be wrong. Also this might not be the right library for this and a separate one might exist. I tried to do some research but without success. Any ideas?

Yes it is look at this example (you'll find a lot of hardware resources with google to implement a midi in/out din connection to the arduino serial port(s)). I developed this midi interface so that my son can learn piano with his ipad while using an old midi din interface on a casio piano.

Is this a fork of MIDIUSB?

No it is using it instead and alkso uses another great midi lib from another contributor here.

Sounds like it might make sense to add it to the Arduino repositories? Anyway I’ll give it a try, thank you!

It seems to me that serial+USB functionality will soon be supported by arduino_midi_library, e.g., here.

Yes, my project also uses @franky47 MIDI library, I think he implemented recently a bridging functionality similar to mine there, could not check that out yet.

My project is more specific though and designed for use as a self-powered usb device on tablets like iPads.

I'm sure you could now use his lib to do the same thing.
