Guitar to MIDI converter

[Freppo]

Here's a fun one that lets you connect your guitar to your old synths and rock out

It's not the easiest projects since it requires a special chip, hardware programmer, software and code. But it's not that hard either. I borrowed a pickit2 interface/programmer from a friend and finished it the same day without any earlier experience with this stuff. :)

Awesome.  I'm into my MIDI stuff but really because I'm a rack guy and MIDI controlled relay loops for pedals in a rack tray are by far my favourite control method.

Nice!  Now to wire all this up into a Muse-like kaosspad guitar.  I already routed out a body and have the kaosspad on hand.  Been sitting in the closet for years.  :)

Looks cool, would be nice to plug my guitar into my yamaha keyboard and do some tubular bells sound :)
Anyone in the UK with pickit who could program the chip for me? Not keen on buying one just for one off use

Mark, that's cool! Do you have any MIDI switching layouts/code ect to share? :)

Negativefx, great idea! :)
I thought about putting the MIDI converter in an old crap-guitar I have.. hmm..

I figured that I might aswell get the most out of my pickit...
so i've done another layout for a tap tempo tremolo with 8 different waveshapes.
I will post that one as soon as I have verified it :)

Then next up might be a PIC tuner and a tap tempo delay...

I wish I could help with preprogrammed chips for anyone that wants them..
But I don't have enought time. Spare time is rare :/
