Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module

Looking back at the Arduino MIDI Tone Module one of the key limitations was its inability to play more than one note at once. So why not string a few of them together to give you Arduino MIDI Tone polyphony! In Part 2 I commit this to stripboard. https://youtu.be/mGESRYY3CGc Warning! I strongly recommend using an old … Continue reading Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module →

Arduino MIDI Channel Monitor – Part 2

I liked the way my Arduino MIDI Channel Monitor turned out so much that I decided to tidy it up and commit it to stripboard after all and I'm pretty pleased with the results. https://youtu.be/mgPapCQgJ7g In the video you can see the LED for channel 10 lighting up when the drums are played and the LED … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Channel Monitor – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI Channel Monitor

Whilst messing about with MIDI drums at one point it would have been really useful to be able to check which MIDI channels had messages, so I thought it would be useful to have a simple MIDI channel monitor. The idea is that you have 16 LEDs, one for each MIDI channel, and if any … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Channel Monitor →

Arduino Nano MIDI Keyboard

This project takes the Arduino Nano 12-Note Keyboard and updates it with MIDI capability! https://youtu.be/91Q-Ml86JKA Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! Parts list An existing Arduino Nano 12-Note Keyboard 2x 220 resistor male header pins 5 pin … Continue reading Arduino Nano MIDI Keyboard →

Arduino Nano 12-Note Keyboard

This project builds on the Simple Arduino Music Keyboard but expands it to a full octave of chromatic notes. As there are more buttons this time, I've actually soldered this together onto a piece of stripboard and built in space to use an Arduino Nano as the controller. In Arduino Nano MIDI Keyboard I add MIDI out … Continue reading Arduino Nano 12-Note Keyboard →
