MIDI to PS/2

This project was originally designed for NextDAW to let you control the software using a real MIDI keyboard.

The device can connect over PS/2 interface but also USB and announces itself as a keyboard - which means you can use this on a device like a MiSTer or even a PC.

This project is effectively a keyboard mapping from your MIDI controller. If you wanted to use it with software other than NextDAW you could modify the source and build a new firmware to suit your specific desires.

All source is available on github: https://github.com/remy/midi-to-ps2/

• Does this work with MiSTer? yes

• Can it use other programs (other than NextDAW)? not out of the box, but with some small code updates which I'm happy to help you with

• Can it be used to play cords? only if the DAW software permits cords via the keyboard, currently for NextDAW it's not possible

• How can the firmware be updated? Windows, Linux and macOS are supported, the firmware update is a process of connecting over USB and dropping a file into the Pico mounted drive
