I have moved on to using the DataPro cable; originally because they have accurate dimensioning info on their website, which I needed to be able to design a front panel without costly errors; but also it seems to be a well made product, they are...

Assuming you mean only powering the VHST pin and not bringing up the entire USB host stack... The TPD3S014 is controlled by a GPIO (EMC_40) so all you have to do is set it to output mode and turn it on. Unfortunately it has no defined pin number...

Yes, that's my hope... especially coding time! I'm not ready to think about any new products until Sparkfun has been shipping Teensy 4.0 and Teensy 4.1 for a while. We've been pouring a lot of work into this transition for the last few months...

Sounds good to me, hopefully it will give PJRC time to concentrate on the things you do best, like innovation and support, and maybe even some website and repo maintenance ;)

We are excited to announce the expansion of our partnership with SparkFun Electronics to include the manufacturing of all Teensy products. Teensy 4.0, Teensy 4.1 and related accessories will now be manufactured by SparkFun in Colorado, USA...

This makes a lot of sense. A trusted partner who deals with supply and manufacturing means more focus on the all-important software and support side (which is the key differentiator from random Arm MCU boards that utterly lack a solid software...

14-bit resolution in MSB/LSB CC pairs is just an artefact of how MIDI transmits data. The question then is not "do I need more than 16k steps" it is "do I need more than 128 steps". 10-bit fader value is 8 times more precise than a 7 bit one.

In general, you need to store data on each key that is pressed, until after it is released (even for keys that aren't currently sounding): Note Number Velocity Time pressed You also need to decide what allocation method you want, for notes to...

The MIDI association has some suggestions: This is from (CA-033) MIDI 1.0 Electrical Specification Update [2014]. So instead of being grounded only through pin 2 at the transmitter end, the shield is connected at either end through a small cap.

The newer, faster chips have in general worse performing analog sections. External DAC and ADC are becoming more necessary. I don't see those being fitted on a Teensy form factor (for space reasons, and to avoid tying up SPI buses, and to give...
