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 Build Guide

Here are the build notes for my Nano MIDI Proto PCB. 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 the Getting Started pages.

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 →

Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 3

This is another variant of my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer this time using a rotary encoder and I2C display rather than a potentiometer for control. 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 and I2C display … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 3 →
