Hola sabes si esto funciona sin computador estoy pensando en hacer un pedal bajo con los sonidos de ableton live 10 pero no sé si el sonido queda guardado en mi arduino si. El computador
En este proyecto el Arduino solo manda las notas. Necesitas un computador, tablet o teléfono que reproduzca los sonidos. Seguramente se puede hacer algo integrado en el Arduino pero ya se complejiza un poco.
hola leandro, al final pude usar un arduino leonardo para terminar el controlador pero no reproduce ningun sonido, se cargo correctamente el codigo y emite la luz en led pero en el ableton no lo detecta muy bien en la pagina que creaste cargue los sonidos y no se reproduce nada, si podrias ayudarme te agradeceria mucho saludos!
Hola. El problema puede ser dificil de diagnosticar por aca, pero te recomendaria repetir los pasos de la guia desde cero. Es comun que a veces haya faltado hacer algo en el camino. Si ya lo hiciste y sigue sin funcionar, avisame y vemos como solucionarlo!
Gotta say, i approve of using 3d printing to let you make a unibody enclosure that doesn’t require screws or anything to assemble, definitely an advantage of 3d printing. When I’m designing things i try to steer clear of screws and such just cuz they add unneeded cost to the final project
@@LeandroLinares yep, although I say this and yet some of my projects have many many interlocking parts, but to be fair most of them would only be manufacturable on 3D printers.
That's actually something I'd like to learn to do in the near future. Do you mean interlocking like, for example, Fab365 does? Designing some kind of joint that let you make mire complex builds, but still without screws or glue?
@@LeandroLinares not usually, mostly if they’re interlocking and such I mean that they fit together in a very specific way and are optimized for 3D printing so therefore not really possible to make with other manufacturing methods, such as parts with large internal geometries. Although I have made a few things that use other methods of attaching like dove joints that I slide together and melt together. Example: th-cam.com/video/mTo5pRdXMM4/w-d-xo.html
Ahh I see what you mean. Some time ago I was looking for a way to join pieces and I've never thought (or saw) of using a solder for a better joint. That's amazing.
I made one exactly like you showed in the video, but there are some troubles along the way:- 1)The hole in the enclosure for the USB mini - B is too small that it works, but its so loose that if I move the controller, it unplugs. I had to use a blade to make it bigger and it was hard. 2)I don't know if there are any alternatives, but the arcade buttons are pretty hard to get a hold of. And they are pretty expensive. I used some normal push buttons at first and then changed to arcade buttons when I got them finally. Apart from this, this is a pretty neat build and I love it. Thanks a lot for sharing all the info.
Hi there, just offering a bit of feedback based on my experience with this project and some setbacks I encountered. 1) Genuine 24mm Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons will have fitment issues under the Arduino mount. The switch portion of the button and legs is notably shorter, by almost 5mm on clone switches vs genuine ones, so it will push up against the back of the Arduino. 2) Be careful with your filament choice! That Prusament PLA probably worked just fine, but I used PolyTerra Recycled Matte PLA because I liked the look and the feel to the touch. While the body of the controller looked and felt lovely, the additives made it brittle enough that the Arduino mounts snapped quite easily. One post broke off while removing supports and another broke while trying to test fit the Arduino. Better to use something with a little flex to it like PLA+ or even PETG instead. Going to redo this a bit to try and get around my issues, but it's best to stick closer to the parts and process used in the video to make it work on your first go. Was definitely still a fun and easy project despite the slip ups on my part!

Ojala te sirva para encontrar mas info lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/
@@LeandroLinares Bro, voy siguiendo tu tutorial, dónde en el script se puede cambiar el canal midi? el canal 1 ya lo tengo con otra superficie de control de Live. Gracias!
Hello, how do you set the function of each key or variable resistance to work in line with the audio programs. For example, each key showed how to take a function with the key of the piano found in the audio program in the computer
Hey, I assigned one pitch to each button and then I used the library MIDIUSB to send that as a MIDI message. I documented how I did it in detail with minimal code and diagrams. Take a look at the "Step 5" which I hope can answer your question! lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/
Hi Leandro, I started to create my project, but when compiling the code on the arduino board I get this error: error: #error MIDIUSB can only be used with an USB MCU. #error MIDIUSB can only be used with an USB MCU. I dont have idea what the error is, I use an Leonardo board based on the ATmega32u4
Nice one... video itself looks great , all details, it's quite a lot of precise work.. Definitely deserves more views..If you will keep this high level, I'm certain you gonna grow in views and subscribers numbers.. Nice job..
@@LeandroLinares And also, I forgot to mention the idea of assembly without screws, that's an interesting part of the design.. I can imagine it"s took a serious amount of effort and time... To make next version you should design a PCB, put it to production in china (also with assembly). Figure out the way how to connect arcade buttons to that PCB through some kind of connectors (soldered on the PCB by manufacture). As result it would be a screw&soldering-less solution.. that could be a great DIY assembly kit..
Hi, great project. I'm gonna try to make one, but I'm new to this arduino things. Is your code also work for ESP32? as I know, some project with arduino can be used on ESP32 with some adjusment
Hey, I think 28mm buttons would be too tight in the case, but don't let that to stop you. There was people making cases with cardboard to fit their components! Any hollow box with a nice size can work too.
Ohh yeah, I do have seen someone on Disqus that made this out of card. Though lastly if I do put some pre built LED Arcade Buttons would the light respond when I press something ?
You have to change the code for that. The good news is if you use individually addressable LEDs (neopixels), it only uses one pin. If you check in the comments section of the article, Paul Sijben put some LEDs there.
Hey man, First off, I love this project, great job man ❤️. I have a question about triggering a note, I’m currently using Ableton Live on PC, and when I play a note that’s been mapped to a drum rack, the note will retrigger over and over again when being held down, even for a second. Is there any solution to this? Thanks man, I appreciate it
Hey, thanks a lot!! I uploaded the wrong code, my bad. Here's the one that worked for me. Let me know how it goes! lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/#step-5
Hey, I actually don't know. I would think that 'yes' but not sure because the Leonardo (and the ones with the same architecture) can be a usb device, whereas the Uno need some extra steps for that, I think? If you give it a try with the Uno let me know. I think many people would like to know if it works!
Hey, the black wire goes directly to any GND pin. I made a quick wiring diagram, let me know if it's useful! lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/#wiring
Hola Leandro! Muchas gracias por el video y toda la info que aportas :D Soy nuevo en esto así que te pregunto ¿Este controlador MIDI sería sensitivo a la presión? Saludos
Hola! En este caso usé los input digitales (presionado o sin presionar) y botones de arcade que funcionan de la misma forma. La idea era imitar al MIDI fighter que funciona exactamente igual. En el caso de sensibilidad a la presion tendrias que buscar botones que puedan medir eso y vas a necesitar usar inputs analógicos (el Arduino Leonardo tiene solo 12 de esos). Para tener 16 deberias pasar a un Arduino Mega. Para empezar, te recomendaria probar con un proyecto simple para entender la dinámica y despues sí, pasar a algo mas complejo. Ojala sirva la info!
heyo! I hope it helps: 1. To keep it simple, I'm always sending maximum velocity (127). In case of doing smt with velocity, you can find it as the last parameter here: gist.github.com/lean8086/7de896c3b8f29d15e092e17ad177d055#file-punchy-ino-L49 2. YES, you can use the same code for a bigger version: up to 20 buttons with an Arduino Leonardo, up to 54 buttons with an Arduino Mega (tho you'll need to adapt the enclosure for the latter). You can also upscale it to the infinite using a multiplexer.
Hey Leandro!! this is cool! May i suggest one thing though, I think for beginners it isn't clear how you soldered the cables as in having a proper view of how to put the cables from the top.
Hey Diana, thanks for taking the time to comment! In the step-by-step guide that I linked, I included a wiring diagram. I hope it can help everyone. Let me know what you think about it :) lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/#wiring
So aside from the 12 Digital pins you just used 4 Analog pins for the rest of the buttons? I didn't know you could do that.. Is the coding any different? Sorry, i'm new to all this. Love your project!
Hey, I'm new to all of this as well. All the analog pins can be read as digitals simply using the method digitalRead(). I wrote it down in this step-by-step guide. Check the example on Step 5, line 15. lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/
Gracias por la buena onda! Te recomiendo buscar proyectos en instructables.com o páginas parecidas. Hay mucha data dando vueltas y todos los materiales para este tipo de proyectos se consiguen en arg sin problemas (en ML podes encontrar todo o también en casas de electronica). Yo escribí un articulo con el paso a paso en detalle para construir este mismo. Ojalá te sirva lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/
I'm looking for a proper way to measure the *end-to-end* latency (from physical button being pushed to sound being played). I'll probably need to record everything with a microphone and analyze the sound but it seems a bit too much. Any recommendations? I'm lost here :D
hey :) I just got my leonardo board can I use the pins 13 and A5 ? also the instructions says I can use the ICSP pins as a Digital pin. do I need special coding to make the ICSP pins work ? or I just need to code them like the Digital and analog pins? thanks :)
Hey, there should be a way to send messages via usb with an Uno using the serial port or something similar. The reason I choose a Leonardo, though, was that it has built-in usb communication with no need for a secondary processor like with the Uno. In case you find a way, let me know! I'm interested in seeing if the Uno can have the same results.

I'm sending the MIDI messages at a constant velocity (127), but it can be easily a variable, yes!
ok wtf this is beautiful
what is the cost of this printing machine
I got this one (Prusa Mini) as early bird so it was around 350usd. I see it's 459usd as of now, but there are plenty of other cheaper 3d printers.
Will this code also work with arduino uno????
Good question! I don't know, maybe?
Hey Leandro!! this is cool! May i suggest one thing though, I think for beginners it isn't clear how you soldered the cables as in having a proper view of how to put the cables from the top.
Hey Diana, thanks for taking the time to comment! In the step-by-step guide that I linked, I included a wiring diagram. I hope it can help everyone. Let me know what you think about it :) lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/#wiring
I think it makes total sense to add clear top-down shots on my next videos involving wiring. Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
@@LeandroLinares amazing!! I ordered the parts and will post my version soon for your blessing hehe!!
Does this work even if you press 2 buttons simultaneously?
Yes, it works!
So aside from the 12 Digital pins you just used 4 Analog pins for the rest of the buttons? I didn't know you could do that.. Is the coding any different? Sorry, i'm new to all this. Love your project!
Hey, I'm new to all of this as well. All the analog pins can be read as digitals simply using the method digitalRead(). I wrote it down in this step-by-step guide. Check the example on Step 5, line 15. lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/
@@LeandroLinares Niiiice. Many thanks!
Plss send code
can it use in vmix for midi controller?
Hey, yes! it seems to be fully compatible with vmix
Awesome
Subd mate .. I loved this 😁
Excelente, sos un genio. Donde puedo conseguir data para comenzar a aprender estás maravillas en arg?
Gracias por la buena onda! Te recomiendo buscar proyectos en instructables.com o páginas parecidas. Hay mucha data dando vueltas y todos los materiales para este tipo de proyectos se consiguen en arg sin problemas (en ML podes encontrar todo o también en casas de electronica). Yo escribí un articulo con el paso a paso en detalle para construir este mismo. Ojalá te sirva lean8086.com/articles/building-an-arduino-midi-controller/
i can use a arduino UNO?
Hey, in theory it should be the same but I've never tried it before. In case you try let me know! I'm interested in seeing what happens.
@@LeandroLinares yesss I'll tell u :)
Love Punchy
😘
Oh wait, you didn't show us how it works! :) Great work anyways!
Thank you! I plan to upload a video playing it 🔜
how's much is the latency from the device??
good question. I'll try to measure latency on this!
@@LeandroLinares did you measure it?
I'm looking for a proper way to measure the *end-to-end* latency (from physical button being pushed to sound being played). I'll probably need to record everything with a microphone and analyze the sound but it seems a bit too much. Any recommendations? I'm lost here :D
@@LeandroLinares Bro, go to the settings option on Fl Studio > Audio Settings > Where say FL STUDIO ASIO change to ASIO4ALL. If u havent, download.
Hey amazing job, wich 3d printer you using?
Hey thanks! I'm using a Prusa Mini
This is so amazing... 😍😍 I'm planning to do mine in 20 buttons... Will the programming be the same ?
Thanks Martin! Yes, you can use exactly the same code, adding those extra buttons. Send some pics when you work on it!
Thanks.. 😁 will the code also work in arduino mega ?
It should work with a Mega as well. Let me know if it doesn't and we can figure out something!
Thank you so much.. I'll order the parts 1st week of October
hey :) I just got my leonardo board can I use the pins 13 and A5 ? also the instructions says I can use the ICSP pins as a Digital pin. do I need special coding to make the ICSP pins work ? or I just need to code them like the Digital and analog pins? thanks :)
i love this!!!
Thanks a lot! :) :)
Hello, could you pass me the 3D design?
bravo!
achei que ia mostrar em uso
i like u playing style
So underrated ;c
I wonder, will I be the only one who wouldn't use such thing for music production
sickkk
Glad you enjoyed it!
woooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Can this be done with arduino uno?
Hey, there should be a way to send messages via usb with an Uno using the serial port or something similar. The reason I choose a Leonardo, though, was that it has built-in usb communication with no need for a secondary processor like with the Uno. In case you find a way, let me know! I'm interested in seeing if the Uno can have the same results.
