How to Use Midiculousserial to Turn Any Serial Device into a MIDI Controller
Do you have a serial device that you want to use as a MIDI controller? A serial device is a device that can send and receive data using a serial communication protocol, such as UART, SPI, or I2C. A MIDI controller is a device that can send MIDI messages to control MIDI software or hardware. For example, you can use a MIDI keyboard to play notes on a synthesizer, or a MIDI drum pad to trigger samples on a drum machine.
If you want to use your serial device as a MIDI controller, you will need a software that can convert the serial data into MIDI messages. One such software is Midiculousserial, which is a part of the MIDIculous Online Music Learning Software. Midiculousserial allows you to use any serial device as a MIDI controller, as long as it can send and receive data in the format of 8-bit bytes.
