The MIDI CPU has a long list of potential applications. Build your own traditional footswitch, keyboard, or “knob box” controller. Build your own alternative MIDI controller—optical theremin, fret-based controller, etc. Generate MIDI note patterns or CC waveforms from digital or analog signals. Re-purpose a “consumer” keyboard, calculator, game controller, or other electronic device as a MIDI controller.
These possibilities will be explored with “how-to” information at the blog and forums.
