“Baby8” Discrete Logic MIDI (ish)

I've wanted to create a non-microcontroller, discrete logic MIDI circuit for some time. I thought it would be interesting to have a few chips that could generate a specific sequence of bytes corresponding to a MIDI message. Note: I'm still talking individual chips here, not just gates and definitely not individual transistors, so perhaps "discrete … Continue reading “Baby8” Discrete Logic MIDI (ish) →
