MIDI female pin 4 to +3.3V via 47 Ohm (replace with 33 Ohm should problems arise)

Don't need to set "MIDI" under USB Type "Serial" works OK and allows for VisualMicro SerialMonitor to work (MIDI + Serial works as well, but MIDI is not needed since we only use USB Host MIDI, not microUSB MIDI) Add PANIC button (all notes off): send Control Change message 123 (not SysEx!) on all channels Add bridge from microUSB_input 5V and GND pins to USB Host out, to get more power (but check Teensy 3.6 schematics first! Where does USB Host get power from? Do we risk frying anything?) Handle "SysEx chunks" (not we only have a debug placeholder)

Jammin Pro PK25: total current = 65mA (340 mW) Miditech37: total current (converted + keyboard) = 65mA (340 mW) Measure how much current is drawn by 5V microUSB when various keyboards (Akai LPK25, Miditech37, ProDipe49, Korg MiniKey etc.) are connected: Check if latency improves with higher CPU clocks (now 24 MHz to save power) Software is not really complete, but works OK for my limited needs: Thanks to my dear friend Alessandro for the soldering work and the 3D printed case.įor the hardware part, I just followed the instructions on PJRC website:Īdded a couple LEDs to signal errors and MIDI connection I did not need processing power and wanted to save battery, so I downlocked it to 24 MHz, more than enough.Ĭonnected to a smartphone USB powerbank, it runs for many hours while powering the USB keyboard. So this is it: a converter powered by the phenomenal Teensy 3.6. Moreover, when you connect some MIDI USB keyboards, they send spurious junk over MIDI for the first second or so, again causing issues to some hardware modules. There are a few MIDI USB Host converters on the market, but they tend to be pricey and not so flexible for example, the MIDItech USB Host converter I purchased (at $80+ ) does not filter "Keep Alive" MIDI messages, which cause issues with many older MIDI synth modules.

I have brought several products to market, from conception through prototyping through offshore manufacturing through marketing, so I would certainly be able to help on that side of things.I wanted to play my MIDI hardware synths with a cheap small portable MIDI USB keyboard. Can anyone tell me if such a thing already exists? Or, would anyone be interested in building such a thing, and/or even productizing it? It seems to me that there would be quite a demand for such a simple connector/adapter.
And, I don't want to have to use or bring a Focusrite or the like, much less a computer. I don't need to get such conventional keyboards into the computer instead, I just want to be able to control other conventional keyboards off of a keyboard (e.g., the PX160) that has the USB connector.
I have only found connectors/adapters that allow ordinary DIN-style MIDI OUT connectors to be converted to USB so those DIN-style keyboards can easily get into the computer. I am considering buying a Casio PX160, which only has a MIDI via USB type of connector, and I want to control other keyboards (with standard DIN-style MIDI IN) off the PX160.
