[sdiy] Free midi controller

[Raymond Wilson]

Hi List

I took Michael Schulze up on his offer and he graciously came through (even helping me carry the beast to my car). He was kind enough to give me a short tour of the new Denver University recording studio (totally cool) and showed me a vintage ARP 2600 he plans to refurbish. The MIDI-fied organ weighs a ton but I plan to have some fun with it. Luciano you would have needed a cargo plane to get this home.

Good luck going forward.

Ray

I'd check out Roman Sowa of the s-diy list... he has some PIC micro
boards designed to scan a keybouard and output MIDI. I use a variant
of his board for my Quantized MIDI Theremin and it works flawlessly.

You can check the archives or even Google search for his site.
