Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 2

I covered all the theory and main functions of the code for my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer in my previous post. In this one I look a little more at some hardware that hopefully lets me use this to actually control something useful! Part 1 covered all the theory and main functions of the code. Part 2 … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 2 →

Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI

After playing with my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer I started to think about how to turn that into MIDI. One option, naturally, is to add MIDI to the sequencer itself, but I thought the more versatile approach would be to build a second Arduino that took trigger pulses and turned them into MIDI drum messages. This … Continue reading Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI →

Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer

I've always liked the idea of mathematics, algorithms and their application to music, so a Euclidean Sequencer has been on my list of things "to do" for a while. This is my take on how to build one from an Arduino. This post focuses on the code and algorithms - some more useful hardware will … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer →
