Hi there,
is there any electronic and/or software designer here, like me?
Gee, I work as a HardWare and SoftWare (FirmWare) designer and my greatest interest is MUSIC!!!

Unfortunately, it seems REEEEEAAALY difficult to find a job, a company, where
you can make the same job, but related to musical devices, at least here in
Italy. :o

Is there any HardWare/FirmWare/SoftWare designer here who can tell me the
situation in his/her side of the world?

I studied the MIDI interface and protocol some years ago, under both hardware and software (protocol) aspects.
To apply and verify my knowledge, I made
- a very nice "10 Triggers to MIDI converter" with a Microchip PIC microcontroller.
- a fine digital tuner with a 8051 derived microcontroller
- some other simple applications

For these projects I designed the HardWare using OrCAD, made the PCB, mounted components (PTH and SMD), wrote and debugged the FirmWare.
:cool:

I would be happy to know someone else in the same situation, who maybe would like to try to share interests and efforts, in the hope to find the possibility to apply knowledge on electronic musical instruments.

Hey, we could try to make our own company!!! :D :rolleyes:

Don't know... anyway, any counsel and opinion will be well accepted. :)

Thanks a lot in advance.
