MIDI Synth

With a few jumper connections, the board will boot up in MIDI mode that will read 'classic'

31250Kbaud MIDI data on a UART pin and act like a synth/drum machine - there are dozens of

built-in drum and sample effects.

By default, MIDI mode is not 'activated' - but its very easy to turn on. Start by soldering a jumper

wire between GPIO1 pin and 3V on the shield and a wire from Digital #2 to the RX pin on the

shield, see the two yellow wires here:
