Hello friends,
I am attempting to send midi data over usb using the Trinket 5v. I have at least found proof its possible with the teensy and downloaded a library for sending midi over usb with the teensy. Is it possible to do it with the Trinket? I trying to get buttons or a pot to send midi values. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I think you would have to use something like the leonardo because it needs the 32U4 to do midi because it communicates differently over USB than the Uno. Maybe the Arduino Micro would work!

The Trinket and Teensy are about the same size, but that's where the resemblance ends.
As indiwerwlf mentioned, the Teensy uses an ATmega32u4 microcontroller which has built-in USB support. The Trinket uses an ATtiny85 microcontroller, which doesn't have USB support at all.
The Trinket bootloader emulates a USB connection, but the Trinket doesn't have enough Flash or SRAM for a complete USB stack.
