I am looking for help with a new project. I want to send midi control messages from my Line 6 POD HD500 which has old style 5 pin midi connectors to a Zoom MS-70 which only has a USB connector. The Zoom accepts incoming midi commands but does not send anything. I want a small box that can go right on my pedal board and needs no computer interface. I have seen some projects where the Arduino UNO has been used to send midi signals to the Zoom via foot switches but I want the POD to generate the midi command and the Arduino USB to convert it to USB mid to the Zoom. Does that make sense?
I am pretty new to this stuff so if there is a better, simpler way to do it please let me know. Thanks in advance for anybody's help!
