"This is superior to just using a normal Arduino (or even an Arduino Mega) because not only does it have tons on I/O capability, but since it's hooked up to MIDI you can control I/O through any MIDI compatible software, in particular Max or PureData. This is a big win for artists that don't want to learn programming."
mwah... so this thing can send 7bit midi to max? no tanx, i'll take the arduino's 10+bit resolution over serial.
