How to connect FT232BL with PIC18F452?
I tried to connect directly, but nothing happened. I used Yamaha and Roland driver. the yamaha driver did not want to transfer data.
I connected a RX and TX of FT232 with each other and test in hyperterminal. data is passed to and returned.
Maybe the FT232BL transmits at the wrong baudrate?
(I’ve no experiences with this chip… at the time it was released I already developed my own MIDI interfaces ;))

My midibox is burned with ID to use with MIDIbox-to-COM Interface
Can I re-burn controller with 0000000000000000 ID and connect ft232 directly to PIC without optocouplers?
The FT232 chip has to be connected directly to J11 (without optocoupler) anyhow, because it works at TTL level and not as a current loop like MIDI.
With All-Zero ID the MIDI interface will run at a common MIDI baudrate of 31250 - is it possible to select this baudrate on a FT232?
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Yes, it is possible to select 31250 bps on FT232.
Can I work at 38400 bps? (My controller will be work with Ableton, Tracktor and other software)
Should I close DTR and DSR on ft232 as shown in the picture.
Yahooooo! 
It works!
Reinstall MIDI-to-COM Roland driver
Reinstall FTDI driver
Connect Rx and TX lines through 220 Ohm resistors
P.S. Yamaha driver don’t work
