Do you engineers think it can be used for GP10 MIDI magic trick?

I still prefer the $35 Raspberry PI  B+ model as this includes four USB ports

- you need multiple USB ports to support your devices -

1) GP-10

2) USB to MIDI cable

many add

3) USB MIDi floor controller

4) USB Synth Module

( that's 4 USB devices right there)


If you want to use the new $20  Raspberry Pi A+ version - you must buy a separate USB Powered Hub which defeats the $ savings

Yeah, for only $15 more you get twice the RAM and USB ports with the B+!
