[sdiy] midi2CV

[Michiel]

Well, in those cases I guess I'd be better off just looking for one in the
shop, for I never programmed any microchips, and I have no tools to program
them anyway. What Jim wrote down below here is getting a bit too dense for
my cunning.
Thanks for the replies though.

cheers,
Michiel
