Reading And Decoding USB MIDI Messages With An Arduino

One of the hot topics in the usage of the Arduino is the MIDI interface.
Today, we will spend some words on the USB MIDI interfaces, very different in functionality from the classic DIN MIDI interfaces.
This topic is poorly understood in the community, and there are several examples out there that are not clearly explained and cause frustration in those people that try to replicate them.
In this video, we will go through enough details on the topic that will allow you to build a device called a MIDI host, able to receive, understand, and interpret all sort of MIDI messages.

Happy Experiments!
