Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller – Part 3

This is an expansion of the multiplexer version of my Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller from Part 2 to add a further 8 potentiometers. In a future project, I build a "shield" to make linking to the pots easier. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for … Continue reading Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller – Part 3 →

Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller – Part 2

This is the multiplexer version of my Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller. In part 3, I extend it to 16 potentiometers. 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 this … Continue reading Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller – Part 2 →

Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller

A while back I bought some cheap slider potentiometers, so decided to get them out and give them a go. This first project is using eight with an Arduino Nano as a multi-slider MIDI controller, expanding on my Arduino Simple MIDI Controller. In part 2, I show a version that uses a multiplexer. In part 3, … Continue reading Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller →

Pico MIDI (H)Arp

Ever since looking at the MIDI Arp, which creates MIDI music based on the network packets travelling over an Ethernet link, I've wanted to do something related with Wi-Fi. This is my first try. https://youtu.be/aKuAEYryp6c Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage … Continue reading Pico MIDI (H)Arp →

Pico MIDI Keypad Mini Tenori-On

I'd love to have a proper Tenori-on. It is a pretty unique kind of electronic instrument with a 16x16 grid of buttons that allows you to draw patterns that are then played in sequence. But as that is very unlikely to ever happen, I have to be content with making my own! Here is a … Continue reading Pico MIDI Keypad Mini Tenori-On →

Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Channel Router

Ever since I got hold of a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller I wanted to try out the Programmable Input Output (PIO) peripherals. I've also been on the lookout for microcontrollers with more serial ports than the usual one or two. The best I've found so far are ATmega2560 boards with four and the Teensy range … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Channel Router →

Arduino USB MIDI Merge

This project uses two off-the-shelf Arduino shields to provide a USB and Serial MIDI merge to a single Serial MIDI OUT. https://youtu.be/AB49UNDIrcM 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 … Continue reading Arduino USB MIDI Merge →

MT32 Clumsy MIDI Simple MIDI Filter

My MT32 Clumsy MIDI Program Changer and Filter was a little disappointing, in that it didn't seem to be able to keep up with the MIDI stream for my Lo-Fi Orchestra, so I thought I'd try for a simpler version using the 5V/16MHz Arduino Pro Mini without the extras for selecting the MT32Pi voice to use. … Continue reading MT32 Clumsy MIDI Simple MIDI Filter →

MT32 Clumsy MIDI Program Changer and Filter

Having used my MT32-Pi (in fluidsynth mode) with an updated Arduino MIDI Filter in the Lo-Fi Orchestra – Jupiter from The Planets I decided to combine them with my Arduino MT-32 Program Changer try to create an add-on board for my Clumsy MIDI interface to allow a self-contained unit that: Can set the patch number (voice) for the MT-32 … Continue reading MT32 Clumsy MIDI Program Changer and Filter →

Arduino MIDI Filter – Revisited

This is a minor update to my Arduino MIDI Filter to allow it initialise patches as well as filter MIDI if required. Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments!. These are the key Arduino tutorials for the main … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Filter – Revisited →
