What would you change/add?

I was originally going to see if I could buy a dev cart from him since he supposedly had some leftover from the kickstarter, but he never replied, and I was stuck waiting for his first consumer batch.  I don't think he'd be able or responisve enough to work with.

I guess that would have to be modified as well...

Honestly, I'm not really in the mood to sell it, as it's the closest thing to a midines I've got.
I would really just like to make this cart as close to a midines as possible, as unrealistic as that might be, but stating the fact there are no tech docs for the midines, I don't know where to start.

Sell it on ebay and wish away the two years it took to show up big_smile

All the midi stuff is handled by an Atmega168, but I don't have a lot of experience programming.
Almost everything related to the Chip Maestro is here, as well as all the info he posted on the chip forums, some of which might be outdated, is here
