This project allows you to create a MIDI-controlled synthesizer using an Arduino, an ultrasonic sensor, and an LCD display. The sensor detects distance, and based on that, MIDI notes are generated and ...

Engineers create something out of nothing, and no where is this more apparent than in the creation of customized computer hardware. To make a simple MIDI controller, you need knowledge of firmware ...

MIDI communication relies on specific connections between the Arduino and the MIDI device, and any misconfiguration can disrupt data flow. Furthermore, conflicts with other libraries can also arise, ...

[Dimitri Diakopoulos] dropped into our tip line to let us know his HIDUINO project. The HIDUINO is a set of firmware for the ATmega8u2 used in the new revisions of the Arduino (Uno, and Mega2560 for ...

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 ...

Brendan Vavra has designed and built a fantastic and very unique Arduino MIDI Accordion which is capable of creating midi music as you play. Even though there are many MIDI Accordions available ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
