Hi, This is my first post.
I've read a few of the threads on MIDI parsing and using the note commands to flash LED's. I'm exploring use of PICAXE to parse MIDI notes on and off and use the note values to lookup DAC values in a table and send to a 8 Channel (12 bit) DAC over SPI. Before I spend quite a bit of time developing, I was wondering whether PICAXE would be able to keep up with multiple MIDI notes on, do the lookup and send the resulting 16 bit values to the DAC? I've seen a few projects and forum posts with MIDI parsing , flashing LED, and also some discussion on SPI 8 bit limitations. Any advice and hints would be appreciated. It looks like there is some code already for MIDI parsing to get me started.
Thanks in advance for any hints or ideas.
