Introducing the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra!

I've been wanting to do something that combined a number of these projects for a while, so in celebration of reaching (and now surpassing) 50 project posts (update: now over 100 - I celebrated with canons!), I am pleased to introduce the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra! Click here is the full list of Lo-Fi Orchestra performances … Continue reading Introducing the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra! →

Mozzi Output Circuit – Part 2

The simple Mozzi Output Circuit is fine for experimenting but when it comes to combining signals it can really do some damage - I may have trashed the small amp I was using for my experiments - remember my warning - I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments.  I … Continue reading Mozzi Output Circuit – Part 2 →

MozziByte Output Board

I ordered myself a MozziByte board to make playing around with Mozzi a little simpler and it works really well.  This details the updates to the Arduino PWM MIDI Synthesis with Mozzi project required to use the new board. These are the key Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used in this project: Mozzi Synthesis Library … Continue reading MozziByte Output Board →

Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth – Part 2

This projects takes another look at the Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth and takes a slightly different approach to create a simple four-note polyphonic version of the string synth. To combine the outputs I'm using my Simple Passive Audio Mixer, but that isn't necessarily required. It also relies on (and builds in capability to support) the Arduino … Continue reading Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI VS1053 Synth – Part 2

I'm planning a use of the VS1053 shield but need to be able to pre-select which instruments to play and which channels to respond to.  This revisits the Arduino MIDI VS1053 Synth and adds that functionality. Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments.  I am not responsible for any … Continue reading Arduino MIDI VS1053 Synth – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio

With all the excitement of experimenting with Mozzi, I never really finished my R2R digital audio series.  This final part adds MIDI to the R2R shield I built in Arduino R2R Digital Audio – Part 3. https://youtu.be/i6Y9QiTxTeQ Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments.  I am not responsible for … Continue reading Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio →

Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth

This projects takes the Arduino Mozzi String Synth and combines it with the principles from the Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module – Part 2 to create a simple four-note polyphonic version of the string synth. See Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth - Part 2 for a development that gives a different option for passing the signal between … Continue reading Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth →
