Playing Real Time MIDI through the Sparkfun MP3 Player Shield
/*
*
* File: MP3_Shield_RealtimeMIDI.ino
* Author: Matthias Neeracher
*
* This code is in the public domain, with the exception of the contents of sVS1053b_Realtime_MIDI_Plugin.
*
* The code is based on Nathan Seidle's Sparkfun Electronics example code for the Sparkfun
* MP3 Player and Music Instrument shields and and VS1053 breakout board.
*
* http://www.sparkfun.com/Code/MIDI_Example.pde

*
* This code is public domain but you buy me a beer if you use this and we meet someday (Beerware license).
*
* THEORY OF OPERATIONS
*
* The VS1053b has two ways of playing MIDI: One method is that you simply send a Standard MIDI level 0 file through
* SPI, and the chip will play it. This works exactly the same way as MP3 mode and will not be discussed further here.
* The other method is that the VS1053b has a "Real Time MIDI mode", in which it will instantly execute MIDI commands
* sent to it through either the UART or SPI.
*
* Real Time MIDI mode can be enabled with two different methods, controlled by USE_GPIO_INIT
* (1) Setting GPIO1 to HIGH (which is hardwired in the Sparkfun Music Instrument shield, and can be done through
* pin 4 in the MP3 Player Shield)
* (0) Sending a small software patch through SPI.
*
* MIDI data can be sent with two different methods as well, controlled by USE_SPI_MIDI
* (0) Through a (software) serial connection on pin 3, at 31250 baud
* (1) Through SPI, at an arbitrary data rate. For SPI, each byte of MIDI data needs to be prefixed by a 0 byte
* (The V1053b data sheet erroneously states that the padding should be a 0xFF byte).
*
* Both initialization methods and both transmission methods can be selected through the #defines below. Out of the box,
* it probably makes most sense to enable real time MIDI through pin 4, and send serial data through pin 3, but if you
* want to cut the traces for pin 3 and 4 and use those pins for another purpose, the alternative methods may come in
* handy.
