E510 - Velocity sensitive MIDI keyboard encoder. Supports up to 128 keys. Discontinued but very interesting.
An full functional replacement unit for this chip is described in mkcv124 project.
ULN2801/2/3/4/5 - 8 Darlington transistors array with common emitter and integral suppression diodes for inductive loads. Suitable for driving loads up to 500 mA ( like relais, coils etc ). Can be used in mdec64 project based decoders for driving organ pipe valves.

B4 organ emulator MIDI implementation. I tried to contact Native Instruments for requesting information about MIDI messages used for controlling their great B4 software. They did not respond, so I was forced to search over tne Internet. As a result I found some scanned pages from B4 users manual. The document shown here is adapted from this scanned material.
