Steps in order to use MIDI OUT
MIDI OUT picks data from your program and sends it out to the SAM2695 chip as well as the MIDI Out port to an external device.
Send a MIDI command through 0xDDA1 in rapid sequence.
Moderately heavy middle C to channel 0: 0x90, 0x40, 0x40
Changing the instrument of channel 0 to a Slap Bass 1: 0xC0, 0x24
Steps in order to use MIDI IN
to do: revise this with an accurate procedure.
0xDDA0 is a control register - full usage is unknown
0xDDA1 is the serial data register - unknown how to use it in a MIDI in context
0xDDA2 and 0xDDA3 are the low and high bytes representing the count of buffered midi bytes in the FIFO buffer
