What is it?

Cantrip is a simple device providing easy, two way communication to and from USB C and TRS-A MIDI devices. It is powered via USB C and shows up as a MIDI device named "cantrip".

Tested on MacOS, Windows, iOS and monome Norns. iOS works directly from USB C to USB C on the newer iPads and via the regular or powered CCK (USB camera connection kit) on a lightning connector iPad or iPhone.

Want to add TRS-A MIDI to a Monome norns? Plug the cantrip in via a USB A to C cable and you are good to go!

Want to control a Wingie MKii from your Mac/PC/iOS device? Now you can!

Why did you make it?

I needed a way to connect my iPad to the Retrokits RK006 via TRS MIDI. I designed a simple circuit around the Adafruit QTPY that meets the MIDI standard spec for IN and OUT. The TRS-A IN and OUT conform to the "A" standard. If you are needing to use the cantrip with a TRS-B device, you will need an adapter cable.

What makes it special?

Cantrip has flashy lights for both MIDI IN and OUT. Keep an eye on what you are doing.

The cantrip has a clear or white translucent case that allows the activity lights to glow through. The white is much more subdued. Dazzling entertainment.

The LED colors listed below signify the corresponding activity:

Green = transport

Orange = CC

Blue = note
