Right guys, since MIDINES is so hard to get hold of…

Im creating a solution. My plan is to house an Arduino inside the NES to comunicate MIDI data through the controller port. 

What I want from this project is to create a fully usable 8BIT MIDI synthesizer. I’m going to build the controller into the body of the nes and have a flash cart running FaMI (or family MIDI) After all the basic stuff is done and the arduino is communicating MIDI data im going to add in 2 Analogue Low pass filters and maybe an a LoFi delay to the circuit.

This will make the NES a very versatile and compact synthesizer.

I’m starting on the project tonight by making some room inside the NES and adding the audio outputs. The project will be up for sale on completion’s and will come with a 49 key MIDI keboard. 

Also, don’t forget about that NES portable. Just want to get my CNC router first before I start the project, i want it to be as thin as possible.
