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 →

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 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 →

Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio – Part 2

My Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio has been used, pretty much unchanged, in my Lo-Fi Orchestra performances since my first recording, but I've always had a bit of an irritating "Lo-Fi click" when starting and stopping notes.  But whilst I've tinkered a little, mostly I've just lived with it, but now I'm finally taking a look. … Continue reading Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio – Part 2 →

Arduino VS1053 General MIDI Synth – Part 3

Having prototyped a patch changer for my Arduino VS1053 General MIDI Synth this shows how that can be achieved in a slightly more useful manner using a shift register to control the 7-segment display. It also follows through a build using my Arduino MIDI Proto Shield PCB. Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard … Continue reading Arduino VS1053 General MIDI Synth – Part 3 →

Arduino MIDI Proto Shield – Part 2

Here is the build guide for my Arduino MIDI Proto Shield. Tutorials used in this project: Arduino MIDI Interfaces If you are new to microcontrollers, see the Getting Started pages. Bill of Materials The Arduino MIDI Proto Shield PCB (GitHub link below). 4x 220Ω resistors 1x 4K7Ω resistor 1N914 or 1N4148 diode or similar 100nF ceramic capacitor 6N138 … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Proto Shield – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI Proto Shield

Whilst on the topic of MIDI modules with built-in expansion capabilities, I also wanted a prototyping shield for an Arduino Uno that has the MIDI circuitry pre-built, so this is the next project. Update: Find the Build Guide here: Arduino MIDI Proto Shield - Part 2 Tutorials used in this project: Arduino MIDI Interfaces Notes on … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Proto Shield →

Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield” – Part 3

Having been sitting and waiting for my Seeedstudio Fusion order from the board designed in part 2, three weeks later - it's here! So this is by way of an assembly guide and review of the design and production. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments.  I am not … Continue reading Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield” – Part 3 →
