This applies the same extension from the Arduino MIDI Multi MUX Controller to the Arduino MIDI Mux Step Sequencer showing how it could be expanded to support 32 potentiometers or more in a MIDI step sequencer. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Multi MUX Step Sequencer

Arduino Slider Phased Rhythms
There is an interesting video going around social media of someone playing a simple drum beat at 120bpm, 119bpm and 121bpm and you can hear the rhythms going in and out of phase, so I thought it perhaps time to update my Arduino Mux Slider Phased Relays to actually play a rhythm. https://youtu.be/hpoJ7eNfn_8 Warning! I … Continue reading Arduino Slider Phased Rhythms
Arduino USB MIDI Mux Step Sequencer
This post revisits an older project - the Arduino MIDI Mux Step Sequencer. Or more specifically, part 2 of that project that used an off-the-shelf 16-potentiometer shield for an Arduino Uno. Except this time, I've paired it with the "upgrade" to my Arduino Uno to make it USB MIDI compliant. https://youtu.be/amagp7ANns4 Warning! I strongly recommend using … Continue reading Arduino USB MIDI Mux Step Sequencer
Vintage Rotary Phone MIDI Controller – Part 5
In this post, I describe how to use my rotary phone as a simple random-note MIDI "sequencer" of sorts. The triggering of the notes is driven from the pulses of the dial. This builds on the previous parts in this series. Part 1 - Understanding the telephone hardware and interfacing to an Arduino. Part 2 … Continue reading Vintage Rotary Phone MIDI Controller – Part 5
Arduino MIDI LED Step Sequencer with MCP3008
Having now experimented with an SPI eight-way analog to digital converter in the shape of the MCP3008, I wanted to build a step sequencer where the type of analog input was configurable. This project allows you to choose between the following options for controller the steps of the sequencer: The native analog inputs on the … Continue reading Arduino MIDI LED Step Sequencer with MCP3008
JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller – Part 2
Following on from the JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller as a step sequencer, this project shows how it can be used as a generic MIDI controller. https://youtu.be/LjU9QdAnlJg 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 previous projects … Continue reading JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller – Part 2
JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller
I was exchanging some messages with Jeremy Cook on Twitter about Arduino tones on Leonardo compatible boards (i.e. those driven by the ATmega32U4) and that lead to a conversation about his latest crowd-funding effort for a Pro Micro-based "Macro" keypad and rotary encoder. One thing led to another and he very kindly sent me one … Continue reading JC Pro Macro (V2) MIDI Controller
Arduino Phased Step Sequencer
After using my slide potentiomers to control the timing and phase of rhythm, I wanted to turn my hand to pitch. This is my first experiment. https://youtu.be/AWbLFKj6VMk 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 … Continue reading Arduino Phased Step Sequencer
Pico MIDI Keypad Mini Tenori-On
I'd love to have a proper Tenori-on. It is a pretty unique kind of electronic instrument with a 16x16 grid of buttons that allows you to draw patterns that are then played in sequence. But as that is very unlikely to ever happen, I have to be content with making my own! Here is a … Continue reading Pico MIDI Keypad Mini Tenori-On
Arduino Mozzi Sample Drum Sequencer
This project combines the Arduino Mozzi Sample Drum Machine with the code from the Arduino VS1003 Drum Machine and the buttons from the Analog Keypad Tone Controller. https://youtu.be/e_hVGe0Z_mE Warning!
