Doh!  Hold on a second ... is this really a MIDI->CV converter?  That
would be disappointing.  I'm looking to trigger analogue drum modules,
and so I need 8 or 10 trigger outs (not CV outs) to do so.  I suppose
that it might not be too hard to modify this design to do so...?
There's also the problem of not owning a ROM burner, but I figure
I'll cross that bridge later.

My other idea was to work with the MIDI computer discussed in _Digital
Projects For Musicians_ (which I haven't seen yet).  Any thoughts on this?
