MIDI Guitar on Stripboard... Kind of

YouTube via hotchk155
"Somewhere between the Omnichord and the Stylophone lies this thing... simple but suprisingly effective... a PIC16F688 microcontroller, 2 shift registers IC's, 36 switches and a bunch of wire.
The buttons select major/minor/maj7/min7/7/dim/aug chords based on any root note, and you "strum" across 3-4 octaves of notes from the chord by touching bits of exposed wire with a "stylus".
The output is all MIDI (circuit makes no sound by itself) and Reason is being used here for sounds.
I will post a link in the notes for this clip to a schematic (when I can make one) and the PIC source code
