ESP32 Simple MIDI Monitor

This project started as a bit of a test for my ESP32 WROOM Mozzi Experimenter PCB but ended up a little more functional, so I thought it worth writing up in its own right. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to … Continue reading ESP32 Simple MIDI Monitor →

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 →

EuroRack 6HP MCU Experimenter Module

I've been following the work of HAGIWO for some time and always been really impressed with the breadth and range of modules they produce. I have noticed some patterns in their microcontroller based modules and so wondered if it was possible to build some kind of generic template PCB that would allow me to do … Continue reading EuroRack 6HP MCU Experimenter Module →

Arduino MIDI to Clock Trigger

This is another project for my Arduino Clock Generator Shield PCB. This one takes a MIDI clock sync pulse and outputs trigger pulses as required. https://makertube.net/w/obgH4asW3hqk2pHKKrPoAc 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 to Arduino, see … Continue reading Arduino MIDI to Clock Trigger →

ION iDM02 and Arduino

I picked up an ION iDM02 drum module, with five pads and a single pedal, and most of the frame missing a while back and always wondered if I could get it doing something interesting. As is becoming usual with these types of posts, this is a collection of things I've found out about the … Continue reading ION iDM02 and Arduino →

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 Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 4

In this posts I describe a version of the Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer that implements the same user interface and most of the features of HAGIWO's brilliant build. Part 1 covered all the theory and main functions of the code. Part 2 included some hardware suggestions for connecting it to other devices. Part 3 added a rotary encoder … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 4 →
