MIDI Patch Controller

Hello Basic Stamp Group,

I just joined today. I am in need of some ideas for code and circuits
to build the following.

A MIDI patch controller that uses a keypad to select

1) the channel to send
2) the patch number to send

I have a need for such a device for my guitar effects / guitar
synthesizer equipment.

There are many controllers on the market that can be programmed and
there
is software for PC that do this. These are either too big or do not
have a keypad. I am going to build a small unit
that can either mount / clip on the side of a microphone stand or
double-sided sticky tape to my guitar.

I only need to send. No MIDI in or MIDI through is needed.

Thanks in advance. I look forward to the group ideas.


Thanks,

Bill Bores

    The fist obvious thing to do is to find out exactly what signals you
    need the stamp to send. Timing, voltage level, etc. I'd work that out
    first on a stamp prototype board and then once you've done that, and
    programmed it all, work out how to translate that into the final
    phsyical package you need.
