MIDI MERGE : how to get a professional product with PCBWay

After having tested the services of PCBWay during the creation of prototypes, I decided to call again on this company for the realization of the final printed circuit board.

This circuit is a MIDI merger with six buffered outputs, two standard MIDI inputs, a MIDI input / output via the USB bus, and the possible use of a sound generation module :

As usual, the circuit is perfect and came to me very quickly. This time, I chose a black solder mask for a better rendering :

The printed circuit board.

This is what the circuit looks like once the components are installed :

It is also possible to install a sound module on this board. I chose a Dream Blaster compatible module from Serdaco. This module is available at this address :

It should also be possible to use the X2 version, offering more possibilities :

The board is currently equipped with the S2 module :

This board closes the series of prototypes previously made :

Now it's time to move on to creating the firmware for this system.

You can follow the progress of this project on this FaceBook page:

It's simple, fast and inexpensive for a professional result :

PCBWay---one stop for PCB manufacturing and assembly

It is not usual in this blog, to speak about a supplier of components or printed circuits. But a PCB manufacturer offered to support my blog. So, for the first time, this is a sponsored article.

PCBWay is one of the Chinese manufacturers, capable of rapidly producing professional-made printed circuits board. And, it is clear that I have absolutely nothing to say on the circuit made by PCBWay. It is simply perfect and the possible imperfections could only be attributed to a design error on my part :

This circuit board corresponds to the MIDI / CV-GATE converter described on this page. After thoroughly inspecting the board, I found absolutely no problems. The circuit is just perfect. All that remains is to mount the components and perform the functional tests.

Such a result is offered by PCBWay at a very reasonable price, for example $5 for ten single or double sided printed circuits board with metallized holes, of course, within 24 hours by adding also the delivery time which can be very fast with the DHL option for example, at a very affordable cost.

What is very interesting with PCBWay, is for example, the possibility of making cicuits on an aluminum support, ideal for the realization of front panels. I intend to test this possibility for this MIDI / CV-GATE converter.

I obviously appreciated PCBWay's proposal for my blog, as well as the very good contact I had with the staff of PCBWay. This is an undeniable advantage, especially in case of specific need.

And for the Christmas tree, since it's time :

Thank you PCBWay!
