back to uC, PIC16F87X

[Roel Das]

Just a little more on the microcontrollers...
I'm designing a midi-cv as part of my endworkproject. 
Any recommandations on the processor? It should be
VERY complete, nice interface and things...
I can get a programmer and emulator-board for the
microchip PIC16F87X series (20MHz, up to 5 I/O's,
USART,up to 8 10bits ADC's,... and more) at school for
about 90 Euro. The chips themselve cost 10 to 25 euro,
i believe. 
Would this be an ok deal? 
Is the usart usable for MIDI?
Any way to make use of the ADC? Controlknobs maybe?
Thank you very much.
