AVR and MIDI go along very well, the TZ81 project is a nice example. In fact, I have hacked mine own gadget in a week, to help me control HAWKed Poly:

Not seen on the photo are couple of rotary encoders, and a pot connected to the board. Turning pot controls VCF Resonance, and one of encoders sets VCF Cutoff when dialed. That's pretty much all its functionality to date; need to reinvent some LCD menus now.

PS/2 connector is for the touchpad salvaged from an old notebook; and there's already support for it in the code, allowing to control any two parameters across X and Y axes... some day.
