New Midi products

[Jim Patchell]

    This would be very handy.  I have one on my website, that I did about
10 years ago, or was it 8, well, anyway, I used it to Midi a Glockenspiel
(sp?).  It is pretty useless now because I used a 68008 (because I had
both them and a compiler) but they are now unobtainium.  I was thinking
about redoing it, but hey, you have saved me the trouble.  I also wanted
to Midi some bells, still have not gotten around to that yet.

    I would offer my help.  I am pretty good at jamming lots of crap onto
PC boards.
