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 →

Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI Shield PCB Build Guide

Here are the build notes for my Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI Shield PCB. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments.  I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! If you are new to Arduino, see the Getting Started pages. Bill of Materials Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI Shield … Continue reading Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI Shield PCB Build Guide →

Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI Shield PCB

I've built up an Arduino Uno shield for my Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI. This includes a proper buffered input stage for six inputs and output to TRS MIDI. Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI Shield PCB Build Guide Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments.  I am not responsible for any damage … Continue reading Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI Shield PCB →

Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 2

I covered all the theory and main functions of the code for my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer in my previous post. In this one I look a little more at some hardware that hopefully lets me use this to actually control something useful! Part 1 covered all the theory and main functions of the code. Part 2 … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 2 →

Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI

After playing with my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer I started to think about how to turn that into MIDI. One option, naturally, is to add MIDI to the sequencer itself, but I thought the more versatile approach would be to build a second Arduino that took trigger pulses and turned them into MIDI drum messages. This … Continue reading Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI →

“Baby8” Discrete Logic MIDI (ish)

I've wanted to create a non-microcontroller, discrete logic MIDI circuit for some time. I thought it would be interesting to have a few chips that could generate a specific sequence of bytes corresponding to a MIDI message. Note: I'm still talking individual chips here, not just gates and definitely not individual transistors, so perhaps "discrete … Continue reading “Baby8” Discrete Logic MIDI (ish) →

Arduino Touchscreen Mini MIDI Tenori-On – Part 2

I've been playing with two versions of a cheap touchscreen but I haven't so far put up a version of my mini Tenori-On for the "shield" variant. This is a replay of my Arduino Touchscreen Mini MIDI Tenori-On but using the ILI9488 touch screen "shield" described here: Arduino Touchscreen X-Y MIDI Controller – Part 2 and the … Continue reading Arduino Touchscreen Mini MIDI Tenori-On – Part 2 →

Arduino Pro Mini MIDI USB HOST PCB Design

I've finally decided to create a PCB for my Mini USB-MIDI to MIDI USB Host MIDI converter based on an Arduino Pro Mini and a Mini USB Host Shield. Whilst I was at it, I've also included an option to support the USB-MIDI to MIDI Revisited build based on an Adafruit Trinket M0. Here is the Arduino … Continue reading Arduino Pro Mini MIDI USB HOST PCB Design →
