LOLShield MIDI Step Sequencer – Part 2

I wanted to experiment with different scales and tempos with my LOLShield MIDI Step Sequencer but naturally didn't want to keep having to recompile and redownload sketches onto the Arduino, so some kind of control was in order. However the LOLShield uses all the IO apart from RX/TX, which are used for the MIDI, but I … Continue reading LOLShield MIDI Step Sequencer – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI Mux Step Sequencer – Part 2

By way of completing this initial look at multiplexing potentiometers, this is how I used a Sparkfun 16 port multiplexer in my Arduino MIDI Step Sequencer. https://youtu.be/MiPyJrPlmVs 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 key Arduino … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Mux Step Sequencer – Part 2 →

Arduino MIDI Mux Step Sequencer

If you keep using single IO ports of the Arduino for your controls you reach the limits pretty quickly.  In terms of analog IO that is six inputs for an Uno and eight for a Nano.  The solution is relatively straightforward however, use a multiplexer. This project inserts a 74HC4051 eight port multiplexer into the Arduino … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Mux Step Sequencer →

Arduino MIDI Step Sequencer

This adds MIDI out capability to the Arduino Tone Step Sequencer.  Here it is driving a Roland MT-32 paired with the Arduino Light Mozzi Generator – Part 2. https://youtu.be/nOx_mO8V0uY 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 key … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Step Sequencer →
