JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller – Part 2

Following on from the JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller as a step sequencer, this project shows how it can be used as a generic MIDI controller. https://youtu.be/LjU9QdAnlJg Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the previous projects … Continue reading JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI Rotary Encoder Controller

I've finally gotten around to having a play with rotary encoders. It has been on my "to do" list for a while, so I thought I'd start with a rotary encoder version of my Arduino MIDI Button Controller which can select a voice and send the corresponding Program Change message out over MIDI. https://youtu.be/uxT_RQs1MXM Warning! I strongly … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Rotary Encoder Controller →

Arduino LDR MIDI Piano

I always meant to go back to my Arduino LDR Pianola and extend it to more notes, but so far haven't quite got there. But this projects uses a multiplexer to link up eight LDRs to an Arduino and use it as a simple "keyboard" MIDI controller. https://youtu.be/Ne6J-a7ACwE Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second … Continue reading Arduino LDR MIDI Piano →

Arduino Touchscreen Mini MIDI Tenori-On

The next experiment with my cheap touchscreen is to re-create my mini Tenori-On, but this time with more "buttons". https://youtu.be/kqZEotcWZY8 Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the key Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used in … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen Mini MIDI Tenori-On →

Arduino Touchscreen MIDI Controller – Part 2

Here is another format for my newly found cheap touchscreen MIDI controller. This time, presenting twelve virtual "slider pots" for use as MIDI controllers. https://youtu.be/FHu0BoCBEAw Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the key Arduino tutorials for … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen MIDI Controller – Part 2 →

Arduino Touchscreen MIDI Controller

I picked up a cheap touchscreen display online, but it wasn't easy to work out how to get it all working. Full details can be found here, so having got to this point I thought I'd start to explore its use as a MIDI controller. Here are some follow-up projects based on this touchscreen: Arduino … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen MIDI Controller →

Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Twitter Followers

After having proved the idea of "music" from Twitter data, I wanted a system that didn't rely on a PC to download the Twitter data, but that could get it "live", so I thought this would be something that I could do with my Raspberry Pi Pico and my Pico Wireless pack. I know there … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Twitter Followers →

Arduino MIDI Slider OLED R2R Waveform Generator

This project moves on a step from my Arduino MIDI Slider R2R Waveform Generator and adds a small 0.96" OLED I2C display. https://youtu.be/MGwdu017e00 Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the key projects for the main concepts used … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Slider OLED R2R Waveform Generator →

Arduino MIDI Slider R2R Waveform Generator

When I first started looking at using fader/slider potentiometers I always anticipated using it to generate waveforms for my Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio board. But as that is currently part of the Lo-Fi Orchestra, I decided I'd build a new one, hence the diversion into using PWM first whilst I decided exactly what to do. … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Slider R2R Waveform Generator →

Arduino MIDI Slider PWM Waveform Generator

This is a short update, to demonstrate the MIDI version of my Arduino Slider PWM Waveform Generator. A future project shows a similar system using an R2R ladder. https://youtu.be/chMNcMcGbXY Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the key … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Slider PWM Waveform Generator →
