Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

It certainly isn't supported by MMBasic. You'd need to write your own routines to work with it. Note that it uses I2S so you are starting from scratch.

It won't work with the PicoMite VGA firmware (VGA pins are used for something else).

Pin GP25 (heartbeat LED) is used for something else.

TBH I. personally, wouldn't attempt it. It would be easier to learn C or Python, I think.

Not looking at using the VGA. With the new library might be FUN to play with
my other MIDI systems but using MMBasic.

If you want a MIDI interface on a standard PicoMite then surely all you need is a buffered output (to get the 5V drive necessary) and an opto-coupler then put them on a COM port. Oh, and a bit of software. ;)

It looks like the latest beta is going to be fun for you anyway, without getting a device that isn't fully supported. :)

Lovely if you want to make sounds but not very effective if you want to control remote MIDI devices. :)
