Rob Darman used the MSA-T MIDI decoder to build MIDI fire drums.  The MSA-T controlled fire cannons were triggered by Roland V-Drums and used in a performance by Psylab at Firefly 2009.

Update: Additional video can be found here and here.

Forum member GoatBoy used the MSA-R to provide MIDI control for an array of solenoid-activated bells.  (Note: The MSA-T and MSA-P may be better choices for solenoid-based projects.)

Spunky Toofers used an Akai EWI 3000 to trigger a MIDISpeak and effects.

Siempre La Luna documented the MIDISpeak assembly process and installation process.

Thomas S. photographed his MIDI Xbox controller for use with music games.

Roglok in Germany created this custom enclosure for the UMR universal MIDI retrofit. The i/o connections are exported to a DB-25 connector–which allows a variety of keyboards to be used with the box after a DIP switch adjustment. Music by Roglok and many others is available from the Upitup netlabel.
