Hi, Bob,
that's pretty good job you did! I supposed it must be somehow possible, PIC solution is perfect, but of course it needs a knowledge on your level. Compliments.
Seeing this I think there's a good hope to find a solution for old instruments with simple one line VF displays like Oberheim Matrix 6, Roland MKS70, VP70, or Ensoniq product line...
It would be a great help for whole synth freaks community to have a chance to buy such interfaces. It's quite possible that after almost 30 years those old instruments can have problems with displays. I'm sure it can be a good business project.
Thank you very much for your effort. If you will consider some research and development, for sure you will find customers (me included).

Hi,
I converted a vfd to an lcd for another product not too long ago. The command set was a little different so i used a pic to convert from the vfd interface to the lcd one. You can see the result at

in the heath dynaco schematics section.
