I use 6N136 in my PC-MIDI-adaptors (MIDI-cables) for a long time http://www.pluslab.ru/docs/AMK-03.pdf There are no great differences between 6N138 and 6N136. It's only in Boad rate. But 1MBoad of 6N136 is more than enauf for this application. And I think 6N136 is appropriative for MIDIBOX.

Oh no! Exuse me! I'm not a programmer but I'm an old electronic's designe engineer. My goal is to analize a lot of information. And I must make up MY USB-MIDI adapter. I know one programmer and think He can help me. But it's not a crime to get any kind of information on same topic!

It is'nt problem for me. I have soldered too many ALTERA's 100-pin chips. But I'm not a programmer... Now I'm selling out my ordinary MIDI-adapters. But I want to sell more popular now USB-MIDI-adapters. So I try to find cheaper desigion of this problem. May be it will be device on AN2131SC.

About first link. Yes it is good device, but AN2131SC has more number of pins (44). And soldering process is more diffuculty for beginners. FT232BM is more wide available and its price is lower. Dimentions are lower too. I think this chip is more interesting. About second link. You give answer on this own question - "not working at the moment..." But it's a good idea. But when it will be ready?

It's GOOD!!! FT232BM is so compact/. It has so little number of pins (32). There are a lot of different projects on this IC in Internet. But I can't find any project with USB-MIDI adapter. I think it's very interesting thing for many of us. In additional it becames more cheaper then earlier (about $5). Can anybody show project on this topic? I'd be glad. :D
