Olimex MIDI Shield for Arduino

This is a MIDI shield which allows Arduino UNO-format boards to receive and send MIDI messages.

The shield allows direct wiring of up to 5 piezzo sensors and a keyboard (with buttons and serial resistors) making it ideal for drum projects. The project is based on this open hardware design.

Works with Arduino UNO and pin-compatible boards.

Features

• MIDI-IN, MIDI-OUT and MIDI-THRU connectors
• 5 Piezzo sensors for drum implementation
• Keyboard for piano implementation
• Works with both 3.3V and 5V Arduino-like boards
