MIDI input amd output uses Type A TRS MIDI Cable

If supply is via USB you get different voltages on different computers and hubs. You can compensate for this but will lose the top notes as your voltage decreases. 4.7v is not 5v. Check the code there are notes to help you adjust.

NO delays(100); IT WILL BREAK EVERYTHING
We have to spend our clock cycles with care.

The flute here THIS TUNE is a Curtis CEM3340 synth I built.
Using the CC out on this board I Used a MIdI controller and DAW to sequence notes and record the filter sweep that made it chirp like a flute.

Text only graphics, I opted for no screen buffer to keep down on overhead, as a result bitmaps or crazy animations are not possible. You could try using the full buffer library and see if it interfears with timing.
