Building the MT32-pi / clumsyMIDI - Part 1/2

The MIDI mountain quest continues. Please join me in this episode where we'll build the Roland MT-32 ourselves!

Luckily somebody else has already done all the real work behind such an adventure:

* clumsyMIDI: https://github.com/gmcn42/clumsyMIDI
- When ordering parts please be sure to follow the BOM (Bill of materials) here
- And the assembly guide
- And the configuration guide
* MT32-pi: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi
- The project that made it all possible. KUDOS!
* MT32-PI CASE - Big & Mini: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:486...
- I opted for the mini version as the big one was too big for my printer
* MT32 roms at Archive.org
