Using a Cheap 5V MIDI Interface at 3V3

I had a query about using one of the common Arduino MIDI Shields with an ESP32 and when I looked into it, this is where I got to. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! If you are new … Continue reading Using a Cheap 5V MIDI Interface at 3V3 →

ESP32 WROOM Mozzi Experimenter PCB Design

Before building my Educational DIY Synth Thing I was playing with the ESP32 WROOM dev boards I'd found and was thinking about doing some Mozzi experiments. This post started to document some of the things I'd found out about the boards, but never made it to a complete post. I've now gone back and finished off … Continue reading ESP32 WROOM Mozzi Experimenter PCB Design →

Nano MIDI Proto PCB Design

I wanted a simple way to prototype some circuits on an Arduino Nano - and thought I'd built up a prototyping board - but it turns out I haven't! I have an Arduino shield (more here) and a prototyping board for the XIAO (here) but so far not a Nano. This post fills that gap. … Continue reading Nano MIDI Proto PCB Design →

Arduino Pro Mini MIDI USB HOST PCB Design

I've finally decided to create a PCB for my Mini USB-MIDI to MIDI USB Host MIDI converter based on an Arduino Pro Mini and a Mini USB Host Shield. Whilst I was at it, I've also included an option to support the USB-MIDI to MIDI Revisited build based on an Adafruit Trinket M0. Here is the Arduino … Continue reading Arduino Pro Mini MIDI USB HOST PCB Design →

Korg Volca Modular MIDI to CV PCB Design

I've been playing with a Korg Volca Modular recently, but it doesn't have built-in MIDI. There are some conversion kits available (apparently MIDI is broken out on the PCB inside - more here), but it also has a well-specified CV/Gate interface, so this is a design for a MIDI to CV converter with a Korg … Continue reading Korg Volca Modular MIDI to CV PCB Design →
