Description

This header converts a Raspberry Pi into an MT32 and CM-32L bare-metal emulator. It allows to connection MIDI devices into the header and outputs the audio using an I2S 24 bits high-quality audio DAC. Includes two 3.5mm plated gold connectors for output and input fx and also an OLED screen to show the midi messages from the host and also a VU-Meter to show the usage of each channel.

Additionally, this version takes advantage of the new improvements of the MT32pi firmware. Like a rotary encoder + 2 buttons for menu configuration. Also includes an IO port for direct connection to the MISTER FPGA.

The rest of the improvements of the last version are Better noise filter on the MIDI connector (according to the MIDI standard interface). Includes an input jack to mix the FX sounds with the MIDI output sounds on the same output audio jack. This is useful for example if the PI-MIDI is used along with the Amiga. Includes a potentiometer to adjust and mix the input volume. Also, the Optocoupler has been changed to a new one that’s more compatible/friendly with 3v3 signals from the RPI.

What’s included:

A complete PI-MIDI header soldered (with one MIDI connector, two 3.5mm gold finish jacks, an IO connector, a Rotary encoder, and a 128×32 Oled screen).

A custom acrylic case specially designed to protect all the board (now compatible with Pi4 too). Colors might vary, from fluor green to other similar.

The user manual.

Not included:

Midi cable.

Raspberry Pi.

Pre-order:

This is a pre-order, pre orders require payment in advance, needed at checkout.

Due to the nature of pre-order items, we will not be accepting cancellations.

Only 20 units will be made in this batch. Once Pre-order is complete, we will start buying components.

Delivery time:

Since many things are involved in the production of this board, it can take up to three weeks to deliver (send) the boards. Sometimes the ordered items will arrive later than that time due to several factors (eg. Customs).

Shipping:

Two shipping options are available, tracked, and nontracked, if you choose tracked you will receive a tracking number once the unit is shipped, so you can track the unit at any time. If you choose non-tracked shipping as it means, there is no tracking information and you will just wait until arrives it. Due to the current situation, a tracked version is recommended, anyway, the delivery time for each method is the same.
