[sdiy] ATSamD4 Breakout Board

I'm currently very happy with the Texas Instruments TM4C1294, and working on my own design with 8 MIDI I/O ports. It's an ARM Cortex M4, so it might be more than you want.

I just finished a design based around the PIC18F24K50 (a Hammond drawbar controller), and although I'm not using the USB in the first release, it does have that on the board. Just a single MIDI I/O port on this one.

I am interested in the one that has 64K of flash and 8KB ram.  But so far, I have found nothing, so, I am starting to think about designing my own.  The intended purpose is to use this in projects that need a MIDI interface, be it the traditional one using a serial port or a USB port (this part has USB).  Other features of the part are it has an I2S audio interface, I2C, SPI, UART, Non Maskable Interrupt.  The form factor I am thinking about is a Dip Header, and the price point I am going to target to is $20.  I should mention that you can get this part on an Atmel Explained Eval Board for $42, and the Arduino Zero for $38.  I was wondering if there was any interest in this project?
