There is two great projects for MIDI<->Serial Bridge already build for that. A simple arduino will work, take a look at:

HairLess
Work under Win, Mac and Linux

See this example for Hairless integration

I just tried the Midi interface on a Teensy 3.1 and Teensy LC yesterday. Worked great, first try.

One problem however. The channel values are only 7 bits (0 - 127). I am already struggling with 8 bit resolution being steppy on the LEDs. 7 bit will only make it worse. I tried every configuration I could find, but 7-bit seemed to be the limit.

Or is there something I missed?

@sherwoodbc: Yes you missed something small ... MIDI is ~only~7b (0-127)
