Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller – Part 3

This is an expansion of the multiplexer version of my Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller from Part 2 to add a further 8 potentiometers. In a future project, I build a "shield" to make linking to the pots easier. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for … Continue reading Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller – Part 3 →

Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller – Part 2

This is the multiplexer version of my Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller. In part 3, I extend it to 16 potentiometers. 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 … Continue reading Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller – Part 2 →

Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller

A while back I bought some cheap slider potentiometers, so decided to get them out and give them a go. This first project is using eight with an Arduino Nano as a multi-slider MIDI controller, expanding on my Arduino Simple MIDI Controller. In part 2, I show a version that uses a multiplexer. In part 3, … Continue reading Arduino Multi-Slider MIDI Controller →

Universal Synthesizer Panel – Helios One++

The next Arduino synthesizer I've been wanting to try out, so will get the Universal Synthesizer Panel treatment, is the Helios One Synthesizer by "Blog Hoskings" (Gary White), who has provided a very comprehensive build guide as well as details into how the code works. Once again it is based on Mozzi and this is … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Helios One++ →

Universal Synthesizer Panel – Auduino++

One of the reasons for creating my Universal Synthesizer Panel is to port over a range of different microcontroller based synthesizer engines to allow me to play with them without having to worry about building hardware. In this post I return to my Auduino MIDI Granular Synthesis and add a few more features. https://youtu.be/XZ8dcSQfuus Warning! I strongly … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Auduino++ →

Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format – Part 2

Part 3 details the design of a panel using a PCB manufacturer. https://youtu.be/YmQ7j-tDudk 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: Arduino Analog Input Arduino Digital … Continue reading Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format – Part 2 →

Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format

When I put together the Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer it was with an eye to creating some kind of "modular" style panel format. This post documents the building of a "CDR format" (CD Rack Format) panel version. Part 1 (this post) details the build and testing of the panel. Part 2 updated and enhanced the Multi-Mode … Continue reading Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format →

Universal Synthesizer Panel – Part 6

This is the last part (for now) in a series of posts describing how I've approached building a "universal synthesizer panel" to house a range of microcontroller synthesis projects. In the first part, I detailed the general idea and overall design of the panel. In part 2 I built the IO panel. In part 3 … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Part 6 →

Universal Synthesizer Panel – Part 5

This is the fifth part in a series of posts describing how I've approached building a "universal synthesizer panel" to house a range of microcontroller synthesis projects. In the first part, I detailed the general idea and overall design of the panel. In part 2 I built the IO panel. In part 3 I built … Continue reading Universal Synthesizer Panel – Part 5 →

Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer

I've revisited my Arduino MIDI Step Sequencer and added different play modes and LED indicators, but I started to quickly run out of IO pins - so I dug out a Pro Mega 2560 board that I've been meaning to try out for a while. You can read all the details below. Update: There is now … Continue reading Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer →
