I did do a MIDI2SDS-II PCb/chip kit which let you do this, I've sold out, but I
will be doing a newer version soon.

they cost about 25Euros (I think, I can't remember) for the PCB and chip, the
other other parts (which you need to find) cost around another 15euros.
It takes about 30 - 40 mins to assemble.

I think a couple of people on this list have bought them :-)

once the new version is done, I'll drop a mail to you, and to the list.
