I'm using the mighty Roland UM-ONE https://www.roland.com/global/products/um-one/ for emulating MIDI Synth using a PC. Relatively expensive piece of hardware, besides I do not need MIDI OUTPUT. I just have to get MIDI IN the PC.
I've read there is some USB MIDI Library, https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/MIDIUSB working with Arduino 32u4 chip line (like Leonardo or Pro Mini).
That path doesn't seem to work because that library send MIDI packets, which I already have (coming from the Game Port).
So what is really needed is to "convert" the plain bits coming from the Game Port (it can be easily read), to "MIDI" bits over the USB standard. No repacking, it should be transparent.
Of course you need the Arduino board being detected as MIDI device (like the UM-ONE) so I guess the MIDIUSB library has to be there, but no MIDI packets to be sent, just bit-to-bit conversion.
Any clue?
