Goal: To simply and cheaply communicate, via IR, to Midi synths, analog synths, CMOS synths, and computer synths.

The absolute simplest circuit schematics for room-wide sharing of a musical tempo. (One could imagine more elaborate musical uses).

This technique was ideated by Sid, at Noisebridge, who suggested blinking a musical tempo to a roomful of analog and digital instruments, by bathing the room in a blinking infrared light. (One could imagine sending more complex musical messages.)

Schematics:

IR-to-MIDI[edit]

IR-to-CV[edit]

IR-to-CMOS[edit]

IR-to-USB[edit]
