MIDI to USB Adapter with Teensy

Joonas Pihlajamaa wanted to connect his keyboard to his Macbook and for that reason he build a MIDI to USB interface using Teensy board, an optocoupler and some resistors. Thankfully, I had a MIDI connector and a high-speed optocoupler at hand, and with these I could implement a MIDI in rather easily.

Well done! I actually did it very similarly for my MDMA project, but with optional filtering options for the MIDI messages: http://karg-music.blogspot.de/p/multi-duty-midi-aid.html
