Keyboard Matrix Decode

I found an old keyboard, a "KSP970" which is a sub £20 keyboard with full size (non touch sensitive) keys, that was being thrown out as battery acid had corroded away most of the circuit board inside, but the keyboard itself was still intact so I thought it would make an interesting project to attempt … Continue reading Keyboard Matrix Decode →

Lo-Fi Orchestra – Theme from The Black Hole

The Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra presents the main title theme from The Black Hole. A theme you don't here very much these days, but one I think really sets a great atmosphere for the film. I'm sure John Barry would have written the original for Arduino's had they existed back in 1979! https://youtu.be/XRhD5pE-MpE All music rights … Continue reading Lo-Fi Orchestra – Theme from The Black Hole →

Introducing the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra!

I've been wanting to do something that combined a number of these projects for a while, so in celebration of reaching (and now surpassing) 50 project posts (update: now over 100 - I celebrated with canons!), I am pleased to introduce the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra! Click here is the full list of Lo-Fi Orchestra performances … Continue reading Introducing the Arduino Lo-Fi Orchestra! →

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 →

Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth – Part 2

This projects takes another look at the Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth and takes a slightly different approach to create a simple four-note polyphonic version of the string synth. To combine the outputs I'm using my Simple Passive Audio Mixer, but that isn't necessarily required. It also relies on (and builds in capability to support) the Arduino … Continue reading Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI Filter

I am working on something that might allow several of my projects to come together, but one issue I'm having is the overheads of processing unnecessary MIDI traffic are causing delays in playing for some of the modules. So I thought I'd create a MIDI filter that can be used to see all the traffic … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Filter →

Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio

With all the excitement of experimenting with Mozzi, I never really finished my R2R digital audio series. This final part adds MIDI to the R2R shield I built in Arduino R2R Digital Audio – Part 3. https://youtu.be/i6Y9QiTxTeQ Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments. I am not responsible for … Continue reading Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio →
