Next Steps

Here is a list of what I will be working on next:

1. Implement my MIDI to serial conversion: I will be doing a MIDI to 38400kbps serial conversion using an AVR micro. The reasons for doing this are:
• USB MIDI is a CPU hog in the Raspberry Pi
• I am still not sure if the raspberry Pi supports MIDI baud rates or not.
• I want to add some controls to the Pi that will use the same micro and will be sent to the Pi through the same serial
2. Add the control of the knobs and switches (get the knobs and switches status and send it to the Pi).
3. Put everything into a nice case.
4. Add missing functionality to the VA synth (as explained here).
5. Add missing functionality to  the Monome application.

I am hoping to finish 1 and 2 within the next 2 weeks. We will see...
