Have you ever needed to decode/debug your MIDI data stream in more detail than what conventional software allows? Your oscilloscope could save the day.
Whether you’re just curious what serial data looks like, or if you’re in need of some serious debugging, using an oscilloscope to decode messages (in my case, MIDI) can be extremely useful.
