Lo-Fi Orchestra – John Miles Music

The Lo-Fi Orchestra presents this performance of "Music" by John Miles. "Music was my first love, and it will be my last.Music of the future, and music of the past. To live without my music, would be impossible to do.In this world of troubles, my music pulls me through." -- John Miles (1947-2021) … Continue reading Lo-Fi Orchestra – John Miles Music →

MIDI IN for the Raspberry Pi Pico

I was in need of another MIDI IN device, so I thought it would be useful to have another "pack" style interface that supported MIDI IN for new MIDI monitoring type projects. You can see all the other DIY options for Pico MIDI interfaces here: DIY MIDI Interfaces. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second … Continue reading MIDI IN for the Raspberry Pi Pico →

Raspberry Pi Pico Multi MIDI Router

In this project I've combined my Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Channel Merger and my Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Channel Router to create a more general 6-IN, 6-OUT MIDI routing device. This project uses the two hardware UARTs on a Raspberry Pi Pico along with four "PIO" UARTs to give the six MIDI IN and OUT ports. Part … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico Multi MIDI Router →

Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Channel Merger

This is my second try at using the Raspberry Pi Pico Programmable Input Output (PIO) peripherals. My previous attempt was for a MIDI channel router. This time, I'm building a MIDI channel merger. The basic idea is to use the Raspberry Pi PIO to create 8 MIDI IN ports and merge them all into a … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Channel Merger →

Pico Unicorn MIDI Visualiser

I've been waiting to use my Pimoroni Unicorn Pack for the Raspberry Pi Pico for some time, so decided to start off with a remake of my TFT MIDI Display - Part 3. https://youtu.be/-Sd64LAgyfw Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive … Continue reading Pico Unicorn MIDI Visualiser →

Arduino Multi MIDI Merge

I've already had a basic MIDI merge project, combining USB MIDI and serial MIDI into a single serial MIDI out (see Arduino USB MIDI Merge). This project takes that forward to provide the options for a whole range of MIDI IN interfaces merging to a single MIDI OUT. In Part 2 I develop the code … Continue reading Arduino Multi MIDI Merge →
