USB MIDI to Serial and CV/GATE

This project uses my Arduino Pro Mini MIDI USB CV PCB for a USB MIDI to Serial MIDI and CV/GATE device that has a CV/GATE that is compatible with my Korg Volca Modular. It takes MIDI NoteOn/NoteOff and translates them into CV that can be used to set the pitch of a CV/GATE synth. IMPORTANT: … Continue reading USB MIDI to Serial and CV/GATE →

ESP32 S3 DevKit

Having played a bit with ESP32-S3 now, in the of the Waveshare Zero format boards, I'd quite like to have a version of the ESP32 WROOM Mozzi Experimenter PCB for the latest ESP32-S3 DevKitC board I've found. This is the introductory post that is my "notes to self" as I get to know the boards. … Continue reading ESP32 S3 DevKit →

picoDexed + MiniDexed EuroRack

Since attempting my picoDexed + StackyPi + MiniDexed EuroRack build and failing, I've found another Pico-to-Zero board that is provided as open source, so I've had some made. This post details how to get that running with my MiniDexed Zero Eurorack module. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I … Continue reading picoDexed + MiniDexed EuroRack →
