Using an Arduino Development board and Max/MSP, a handy four-button MIDI controller has been created that is capable of counting from 1 to 15 using only four buttons. This innovative device, named ...
TheMIDInator MIDI controller has been created by Switch & Lever using an Arduino Mega with its 54 digital IO and 16 analog pins to provide a wealth of inputs enabling data to pass onto a digital audio ...
Strictly speaking, a Theremin uses a pair of antennae that act as capacitors in a specific R/C circuit. Looking at ...
Making music can be an expensive hobby, particularly if you don’t set limits on the equipment you’re willing to shell out for. That’s the fate musician Alex Coover, aka Glacial Geyser, came close to ...
There’s a million and one ways to play around with MIDI and an Arduino. It’s trivial to have a ‘duino spit out a scale to a MIDI keyboard, or even respond to SysEx messages to change a lighting or ...
DIY musical instruments are their own thing entirely, but if you're looking for a place to start, Adafruit has a guide to building your own MIDI controller using an Arduino. The OONTZ uses a 3D ...
Is it a keyboard? Is it a guitar? It's the ARKeytar, an Arduino-based MIDI controller shaped as a maple wood keytar. Thanks to the Arduino team for highlighting this one, the work of Andrea Gregorini ...
Arduino has found its way into yet another musical device. I came across the ‘UFO’ while in Berlin. It’s a MIDI controller that lets you compose music or control synthesizers by waving your hands ...
Just another gizmo I've whipped up in my office of insanity. I expect most of you won't have any idea why you'd want to build one of these, so I'll try to explain up front. Suffice it to say, "I find ...
Yes it's real! I'm reading the analog-ins from an Arduino which is connected to the trees and acting as a potential divider. That data is transferred to MIDI notes via a MIDI shield and the Arduino ...
