Title: MIDI PCB out there?
Post by: fish22 on September 14, 2012, 09:39:37 PM
just curious if anyone knew of any usb MIDI PCB.
I'd love to play with making some midi pedals...
Disaster area amps used to sell these boards, but it appears they dont anymore...

Sparkfun has a few boards. Nicely fabbed for DIY, and there's often a community of people using their stuff. For example, their MIDI breakout board (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9598) has all the SMD bits soldered; you just need to solder the connectors. They typically include a lot of pads, so the rat's nest effect is somewhat reduced.
