These
EasyPic development boards and programmers look cool enough just sitting there, however once programmed they can be used for
PIC exploration or development of complete prototypes. Everything you need is already there, LCD, buttons, LEDs, ADs and DAs, PIC, software, and cables. Basically these can be used for a variety of musical applications including synth prototyping with the DA converters, sequencer building because boards have several rows of push buttons as well as LCDs and LEDs for note readouts. Drum machines and possibly even samplers can be built to utilize the memory card storage. Basic models start at around $169 from
Circuit-ed.com however some places may have them even cheaper, but without extra parts like the LCDs and
PICs.

I have an older easypic and the basic compiler... both are brilliant for pic development. go to mikroe.com for the source and forums.

I've been intrigued by the prospect of designing semi-complex digital synthesizers/samplers/sequencers from MCU, PICs, Basic Stamps, etc. Thanks for pointing out these amazing boards and the mikroBasic compilers. I'm going to have to give these a try.

Please do let me know how you like the boards. I may order one as well shortly here.

I've been using the easypic3 for a few months now. It's great for doing stuff with midi. You only need a couple of resistors and a midi connector and you're up and running.
Using the mikroC language you can send midi data with just a few lines of code.
