UECIDE: The Universal Embedded Computing IDE

If you haven't had the chance to check the UECIDE (The Universal Embedded Computing IDE), you should give it a thought. Arduino, AVR, chipKIT, Pinguino and many more are compatible out of the box,
chipKIT boards seem to have fully deprecated the plib.h in the included compiler tools, so beware if you are using it !

Dub Siren For The Keyboard PLayer ( Code )

For the last post DUB SIREN FOR THE LIVE KEYBOARD PLAYER, all you need is an Arduino Midi Shield (  ( you should find a local distributor for all these) , an Arduino Uno, R3 preferably, and MIDI library ( I am using the Arduino_MIDI_Library_v4.2) along with this code. NO SOLDERING DONE !
