MIDI Note to LED

Hello,

I'm interested in creating a note for note light show using Midi. The closest thing I've seen is a project that uses midi and LEDs to teach you how to play piano. I'd like to use an individually addressable lignt strip to give a visual of what the piano or instrument is playing... Note for note.

Can somebody please lead me in the right direction? I'm a newbie, please be nice!

Greg

This fires solenoids but you can easily wire the output to an LED and resistor instead of the solenoid driver.
