Coil working, but need help with the MIDI side

Postby Dimsam » Mon Mar 31, 2014 7:16 am

To my great surprise, I followed the instructions, and my tesla coil works!

I get nice big fat sparks out of it, but there is no response to MIDI.

Any tips on how I go about debugging?
Cheers

Thanks for the reply.

I have a midi keyboard plugged directly into it. I've confirmed that the keyboard is sending midi out by plugging it into a synth module.

Did you get it to work from a PC?

Haven't tired that, I'll give it a whirl.
Do you think that is more likely to work than just a direct midi source?
