JQ6500 MIDI MP3 Player Module – Part 2

Having played with my JQ6500 a little now, I just wanted to finish the project by building a shield to support the module's use with an Arduino Uno. Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! These are the … Continue reading JQ6500 MIDI MP3 Player Module – Part 2 →

JQ6500 MIDI MP3 Player Module

As I mentioned last time, I want to turn m JQ6500 into a MIDI-driven sample player. This project describes how to do that. In part 2, I turn this into a simple shield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mvTisAVe5o&feature=youtu.be Warning! I strongly recommend using an old or second hand keyboard for your MIDI experiments.

JQ6500 MP3 Player Module

I was given a JQ6500 MP3 Player Module to play with so I immediate saw the potential here to repeat my MCP4725 Sample Player experiment. In the next part, I add MIDI control. The JQ6500 module is designed to be the basis of a simple MP3 player, supporting the following features: Mono or stereo MP3 playback. … Continue reading JQ6500 MP3 Player Module →

Instant Touch Music

In this project, I'm looking at two "ready to go" boards that provide touch sensitive inputs that can be used to play music. First is the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express and then on to the Bare Conductive Touch Board. For a more "DIY" approach, see Arduino MPR121 Touch Piano. https://youtu.be/VCVvB2rTL4c These are the links to tutorials … Continue reading Instant Touch Music →

Arduino MP3 Piano

This is the first of a series of projects I hope to do based on an MP3 Audio Shield based on the VS1053 chip. There are so many possibilities with this device, but to start with I gone for a simple "piano" device (five notes only) that will play an MP3 file for each note. … Continue reading Arduino MP3 Piano →
