It is the most powerful software to map midi. Highly recommended... I use Steims Junxion software to convert usb or osc into midi signals. It is the most powerful software to map midi.

Does the trick. Means I don't have to carry around a MIDI interface, but could do MIDI out if I wanted to.

I initially had the arduino speaking directly to puredata's comport object, but I was having difficulty with the data parsing portion of the project, and decided to shift away from the visual programming metaphore. eventually, I would like to get the processing serial->osc sending to one of the monome patches hosted in max/msp some pictures are here: http://flickr.com/photos/jonbro/284102154/ I am currently working on an arduino based music project, and I am using processing’s ’serial’ library to parse the data into a more digestible format (osc or midi).

You are correct, the current Arduino cannot do MIDI over USB using its built-in USB port because it is using a USB-to-serial chip (it's the <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=650" rel="nofollow">FTDI FT232RL</a> if anyone is interested). However, it's entirely possible for the microcontroller chip that is the heart of Arduino to do USB directly and to act like a USB MIDI interface if so programmed. The <a href="http://www.obdev.at/products/avrusb/index.html" rel="nofollow">AVR-USB</a> project shows how to do this for USB HID devices (keyboard,mice,etc.). AVR-USB can be reconfigured to act like a USB MIDI interface. I've been occasionally working on this very thing, but haven't had much time to focus on it. If anyone else out there is, please speak up. Hi Peter, thanks for the mention.

Most older Yamaha tone generators such as the QY series have a TO HOST port on them that connects directly to a PC serial port. I suppose if the TO HOST connector sends plain serial data it would be fairly easy to adapt the driver for use with the Arduino board? I saw the link to Todbot's project site on makezine earlier today, so I've been drawing up board layouts for a drum trigger box. I'm not sure how many inputs the MIDIsense board has, but with 6 analog inputs and a bunch of digital ins, as well as being dirt cheap to build, the Arduino board should serve my needs well enough.
