<p>Would highly recommend the teensy stuff.</p>
<p>teensy 3.5 or above should do what you need.</p>

<div dir="ltr">This might be a bit more DIY than you are looking for but have been hearing a lot about how easy the teensy midi library is to use lately:

<div>looks like there is a USB midi library in there too and examples for each.</div>

He doesn't need audio at all, so the Axoloti probably isn't a good choice. I remember a poorly-supported MIDI hardware platform that people complained had poorly-organized source code, but buying an existing platform is still easier than designing a platform, especially for a beginner, even if you have to write all the firmware.<br /> <br /> I would recommend the Livid Builder Brain that I designed, but Livid Instruments aren't exactly an active company since the founder contracted ALS. Actually, I don't quite know their status, but I recall that the Builder Brain wasn't the cheapest platform.<br /> <br /> I know you can buy both an Arduino ~and~ a MIDI shield, but there seem to be plenty of all-in-one 8-bit MIDI platforms - I just can't seem to find any at the moment. Also, I don't really want to suggest that my friend start out learning the bad coding techniques associated with Arduino and Processing.<br /> <br /> Any other MIDI platforms to recommend? Preferably supporting both classic MIDI and USB-MIDI.<br /> <br /> If there happens to be a Bluetooth platform with MIDI support already available for DIY folks, that might be really handy. All things considered, though, Bluetooth MIDI is probably a very advanced platform.<br /> <br /> Suggestions welcome,<br /> <br /> Brian Willoughby<br /> <br /> <br /> _______________________________________________<br /> Synth-diy mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Synth-diy@synth-diy.org">Synth-diy@synth-diy.org</a><br /> <a href="http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy</a></blockquote>
