[sdiy] Two new microcontroller projects (echo and MIDI sync)

[Wooster Audio]

I have two microcontroller-based projects for sale on my website.  I 
wasn't going to plug them here but they are both related to recent 
threads so why not. I think either board would make a useful platform 
for microcontroller synth experiments.

The first is Space Baby. It is a digital delay that can be beat-synced 
to an infrared clock. The delay time can be modulated with an internal 
LFO, and the input can be ring modulated with the delayed output for 
distortion effects. The kit uses the Microchip dsPIC33FJ64GP802 which is 
a 16-bit microntroller with DSP features (similar to the one Tom 
Wiltshire mentions in the "small microcontroller" thread).

The second is MIDI-IR. It takes a MIDI clock as an input and generates 
an infrared clock for syncing Space Baby, or other Andromeda Space 
Rocker kits. It can also act as a MIDI clock master. MIDI-IR normally 
outputs a 16th note clock, but has a button and knob for outputting 
other rhythms. MIDI-IR uses the PIC16F88 which is a 8-bit 
microcontroller.  Since it has both MIDI in and MIDI out it might not be 
hard to write some code to turn it into a MIDI buffer as described in 
the recent "MIDI too fast" thread.

There is a video of both in action on youtube:

Schematics and other information is available on my website 
http://woosteraudio.com. When you buy either kit I can send you the 
source code if you want to make your own modifications. The tools to 
compile code for either are free on the Microchip website, and a PICKit 
programmer is only $35.
