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
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
