15 way keyboard socket to MIDI.

This circuit was used to convert the TTL output on a small midi controller keyboard to MIDI.

The keyboard came with a 15 way PC gameport type connector which was fine for a PC, but

no good for MIDI.

MIDI keyboard scanner

A circuit very similar to the E510 keyboard scanner sold by Maplin in the early 90's. Based around a PIC micro and

3 to 8 decoders configured to give a walking zero from 1 to 48. This is connected to a keyboard and scanned.
