Arduino MIDI Master Volume Control

This project uses an Arduino Uno or Nano with a potentiometer to create a MIDI Master Volume Control. 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 Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used in this project: … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Master Volume Control →

Counting the Notes in a MIDI File

To accompany the replaying of my The Complete Lo-Fi Planets this week on Mastodon, I thought it would be interesting to work out how many notes I had to arrange when building the MIDI files in MuseScore3 from the original orchestral full score. This can be done with a relatively simple python script, using the mido … Continue reading Counting the Notes in a MIDI File →

ESP32 Simple MIDI Monitor

This project started as a bit of a test for my ESP32 WROOM Mozzi Experimenter PCB but ended up a little more functional, so I thought it worth writing up in its own right. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to … Continue reading ESP32 Simple MIDI Monitor →

Arduino MIDI to Clock Trigger

This is another project for my Arduino Clock Generator Shield PCB. This one takes a MIDI clock sync pulse and outputs trigger pulses as required. https://makertube.net/w/obgH4asW3hqk2pHKKrPoAc Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments!

Nano MIDI Proto PCB Design

I wanted a simple way to prototype some circuits on an Arduino Nano - and thought I'd built up a prototyping board - but it turns out I haven't! I have an Arduino shield (more here) and a prototyping board for the XIAO (here) but so far not a Nano. This post fills that gap. … Continue reading Nano MIDI Proto PCB Design →

Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 4

In this posts I describe a version of the Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer that implements the same user interface and most of the features of HAGIWO's brilliant build. Part 1 covered all the theory and main functions of the code. Part 2 included some hardware suggestions for connecting it to other devices. Part 3 added a rotary encoder … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 4 →

Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 3

This is another variant of my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer this time using a rotary encoder and I2C display rather than a potentiometer for control. Part 1 covered all the theory and main functions of the code. Part 2 included some hardware suggestions for connecting it to other devices. Part 3 added a rotary encoder and I2C display … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 3 →
