Connect your Raspberry Pi Pico to a MIDI output socket and play some Bach!

DIY electronic music enthusiast Kevin, who you can find on Twitter, has been experimenting with the new Raspberry Pi Pico and taking what he calls “a first look” at its capabilities in the electro-music arena. With a bit of MicroPython and via some wiring-up to a MIDI output socket, he’s managed to get the Pico to play Bach’s Prelude in C Major! You can see the playback in the video below and you can see a full description of the set-up (including wiring, via a Fritzing diagram), on his blogPlease note his warnings and caveats about what socket/module to use in particular, resistor values etc.
