Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer Revisited

A little while after my last set of experiments for a Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer I found a video from "Gadget Reboot" showing how to use the KS0835F subscriber line module from an Arduino to interface to a phone more easily. So I bought some and this is the start of a set of new experiments … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer Revisited →

Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB

This is a version of my Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB designed for use with the Arduino Nano. Specifically I've been looking at what it might take to get Mozzi running on the Arduino Nano Every, which is quite a different beast to the original Nano, but with the same pinout. This board should be … Continue reading Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB →

Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB

Following on from my Arduino Audio Experimenter Shield PCB here is another shield, this time more optimised for experiments with the Mozzi synthesis library for Arduino. Update: Build notes are now available here: Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB – Part 2 Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not … Continue reading Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB →

Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Channel Muter

This project uses a Pimoroni RGB Keypad with a Raspberry Pi Pico to create 16 "mute" switches for MIDI, one for each MIDI channel. https://youtu.be/8KiXT91sSk8 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 tutorials for the … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Channel Muter →

Arduino Stackable TRS MIDI Interface

As Arduino MIDI Interfaces are so common in most of my builds, I decided to build a "stackable" module. This was partly triggered by the release recently of the official Arduino "Make Your Uno" kit which comes with a synth shield you can build. But it doesn't have MIDI so I thought something like this would … Continue reading Arduino Stackable TRS MIDI Interface →

Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB

My latest Lo-Fi Orchestra piece is calling out for more brass and woodwind, so I'm thinking about ways to expand the setup. One thing I always wanted to improve on is the banks of Arduino Nanos I'm currently using for brass and strings. This PCB design will hopefully provide a much neater solution to my … Continue reading Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB →

Arduino Audio Experimenter Shield PCB

I have a number of Arduino projects that allow for some kind of synthesis to be output via a digital to analog conversion process. This PCB brings three of those methods together into a single shield to support a range of experiments. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. … Continue reading Arduino Audio Experimenter Shield PCB →

CD Rack Format Zynthian

Having build up one of my Zynthian IO Board PCBs my final aim is to get it behind a panel in my CD Rack synthesizer. This is how I built a panel for it. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive … Continue reading CD Rack Format Zynthian →
