Having built my adaptor into a small box, I've gone back to add a mode button so I can include all the different applications into a single sketch. This builds on the previous parts in this series. Part 1 - Understanding the telephone hardware and interfacing to an Arduino. Part 2 - Decoding the rotary … Continue reading Vintage Rotary Phone MIDI Controller – Part 7

Vintage Rotary Phone MIDI Controller – Part 6
In this final (for now) post, I'm just tidying up the circuit and using a Pro Mini to embed all the electronics I need into a nice small box. This builds on the previous parts in this series. Part 1 - Understanding the telephone hardware and interfacing to an Arduino. Part 2 - Decoding the … Continue reading Vintage Rotary Phone MIDI Controller – Part 6
MT32 Clumsy MIDI Simple MIDI Filter
My MT32 Clumsy MIDI Program Changer and Filter was a little disappointing, in that it didn't seem to be able to keep up with the MIDI stream for my Lo-Fi Orchestra, so I thought I'd try for a simpler version using the 5V/16MHz Arduino Pro Mini without the extras for selecting the MT32Pi voice to use. … Continue reading MT32 Clumsy MIDI Simple MIDI Filter
MT32 Clumsy MIDI Program Changer and Filter
Having used my MT32-Pi (in fluidsynth mode) with an updated Arduino MIDI Filter in the Lo-Fi Orchestra – Jupiter from The Planets I decided to combine them with my Arduino MT-32 Program Changer try to create an add-on board for my Clumsy MIDI interface to allow a self-contained unit that: Can set the patch number (voice) for the MT-32 … Continue reading MT32 Clumsy MIDI Program Changer and Filter
USBMIDI to MIDI Shield
I've been using my Korg Minikeys for testing a number of these projects, which usually means breaking out my Mini USB-MIDI to MIDI converter, but that means I need to find jumper wires, power, etc, so I thought it would be interesting to mount the appropriate components onto an Arduino pro-shield to create an entire "USB … Continue reading USBMIDI to MIDI Shield
MozziByte Output Board
I ordered myself a MozziByte board to make playing around with Mozzi a little simpler and it works really well. This details the updates to the Arduino PWM MIDI Synthesis with Mozzi project required to use the new board. These are the key Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used in this project: Mozzi Synthesis Library … Continue reading MozziByte Output Board
Mini USB-MIDI to MIDI
This is essentially a remake of my Simple USB-MIDI to MIDI but using a mini MIDI Host Shield and an Arduino Pro Mini, which I've not used before, with a home-made MIDI out interface to make a simple "all in one" unit. https://youtu.be/mHmNyse8uJ0 Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI … Continue reading Mini USB-MIDI to MIDI
