I am currently working on a capacitive touch MIDI controller for my cats to use. I'll say that your explanation was excellent. I am an absolute beginner and you broke these ideas down into their simplest parts in a way that others haven't. Thank you!
I’m currently building a Bluetooth drum machine using a Adafruit feather m0. I have it recognized in the software I am having problems with getting the midi notes to trigger from the breadboard prototype I’m using.
My plan is building Ableton auto mapped 8 macros potentiometers with track switching and device switching with a screen for each knobs. it's crazy that you cannot find any on the market, like I cannot be the only one that needs one !
I want to build a 5 keyboard (61 on/off keys each), 1 pedalboard (32 on/off notes) pipe organ console with 5 analog (linear or possibly rotary potentiometers) pedal controllers and approx 120 stops (latching on/off buttons similar to a pinball machine buttons) and about 60 small momentary preset push buttons for basically sending sysex type messages ('registrations or combinations of stops). I can do with 6 separate boards, but the biggest Arduino board I have found is the Mega which only has 53 digital I/O and I need at least 61 for each keyboard manual. Then I need to decide if I want each board to output MIDI and use a midi merge, or if I should output each as USB to a USB hub and then into the computer and use something like hairless (is that right) to convert to midi for a virtual pipe organ software called Hauptwerk. I have the keys and pedals. I just need to figure out how to build the adapters without much latency (note lag).
This feels like a life changing video for me. Always was curious about arduino and just today I was thinking of building a wah pedal for myself. But the way you explained made this really clear.
I would like to build a controller for Spitfire Audio Plugins or the Kontact Player for specific CC midi control like Expression, Vibrato and Dynamics. Also to select between articulations which is currently difficult to use because I have to assign them to key switches. Any guidance would be helpful.
I’m building a footswitch to control the Prime Multitrack app. Just ordered my Arduino Uno in a starter kit so it gives me an LCD screen so I can have the actions of the buttons and song show up as I select rhem
hey I'm a bit looking for the proverbial needle here, but how would I go about getting a handheld controller for a digitech whammy pedal ? (just a 0 to 127 handherld midi thing)
I have a Gemini PMX-60, that I would like to turn into a midi controller, have oled displays and buttons and others to add to it, what board should I use,
Hi man, i'm mexican and i'm studying mechatronic, and i love the electronic music, so thank you so much for took the time to upload these videos, you did that i can do one of my dreams, and find a purpose to my career
thanks man for the explanation in your video I really enjoy listening to your explanation please you got to help me with this I actually have no idea about coding but I do want to build a MIDI bass guitar but for the coding I don't know how to go about it please is there anything you can tell about that?
I would like to know what kind of Arduino I can use to trigger presets on an Alesis Q2? What I used to do on an RFX midi buddy pedal is press the switches 0-9 and it would trigger presets numbered 000-009. Then there was another switch that allowed me to bank 10-19 and so forth! Up to 128 presets.
Is it possible to make a midi controller with ribbon controls , and pitch bend , mod wheel, and a bunch of CC knobs , CV gates and work with a 73 poly agtertouch? Can you use many arduino systems together ?
Hey, sounds pretty good. I already have an Arduino and now are searching for infos about making it serve as a midi controller. My main goal is to use this controller for controlling the parameters for vst effect plugins inside my daw. Unfortunately - after some research - it seams that I cannot do the project like it was initially planned. This is because I wanted to integrate displays in my midi controller (e.g. VU meter) that for example displays the Gain reduction of a compressor plugin. Unfortunately it seems like I cannot get any GR data from the plugin via midi. So it looks like it will be a controller only and all the visual stuff is still on the VST ui :-(
Hey man, I have a question, how do you map controllers for example if i wanted to make an instrument that has a pitch bend function. On the DAW i want to insert samples of my instrument
I need to build a foot controller for my guitar. So that I can toggle on/off pedals and use potentiometers to adjust individual parameters of each effects pedal.
I want to take a cue from this video of yours to build a midi controller to use for my flight simulator but first I would like to know what are the input limits that I can create ie how many potentiometers, how many buttons. Thank you so much By Marco
I have a question. The Novation Nocturn is a fantastic midi controller. It only functions with a driver and automap which are not supported in the latest OS Catalina. Its seems to me that a nice project would be to convert this unit into a ‘dump’ midi controller using arduino. Is there any way of doing this? Thank you!
The way you describe and present the information on MIDI and the Boards was so easy to understand ! I’m about to build a set of drum pads for my father to record and stop, instead of paying 150+ dollars for one. I just hope to understand the c coding language as well as the other ones that I’ve worked with.
Is there a course in your website specifically for the led strips?, where you tell how to create the led strips connection (e.g. physical and w/ software) to the keyboard? what kind of wirings needed? I want to build a led visualizer for my keyboard piano (there’s 2 ways for that after I’ve researched. 1) is using raspberry pi (which can be expensive for all the connections/wirings needed), and 2) is the arduino But, I’m not techy, and need a step-by-step on how to do this led visualizer
Hey, crazy question. I have Yamaha Steinberg N8 DAW mixer that is bust, but also relies on FW connection (not laptop frindly thunderbolt or usb), so my question is, would I be able to recreate the device with arduino circuits? keep in mind the N8 has preamps and individual channels Id like to keep individual in my DAW
Question: Would an incremental rotary encoder or absolute rotary encoder be better for a midi controller? Or does it just depend on it's function? I'm struggling to understand the differences and how they would effect on what I'd use either one for.
It depends on what you want. Encoders are good if you want to use one knob for multiple things, because you can just update their value and update an led ring. But they are trickier to use and you can't use as much in an Arduino. Normal pots are better to play because you know their physical position, but it's a matter of taste. Also, easier to use and you can hook up a ton of them using multiplexers.
I would like to build something to use in my iPad/iPhone World. Is it possible to connect a usb hub and more iOS devices and let the Arduino control them all?
Working on designing an expandable SSL-style controller for Propellerhead Reason DAW. Problem I am running into is that I need to make the project expandable, from like 8 to maybe 32 channels, or more. What I am not sure about is how to link all boards together to a single MIDI bus. Thanks for making this video!
You need to use multiplexers, they multiply the number of inputs. Something I teach in the complete course. nerdmusician.teachable.com/p/making-music-with-arduino
I want to build a MIDI filter to change CC commands to PC commands, but I want to learn to make a controller also. I am waiting for my Leonardo to come this week! great video btw.
Sua didática é incrível, brinco com arduino faz um tempinho e achei que vc conseguiu explicar de forma que qualquer um pudesse entender, sem complicações =) Parabéns
Hey there. Was hoping you could help. Having a really hard time. I did the code in your course and still don't seem to get the midi going through properly. I've done every code so far I could find online. On hairless it just keeps showing messages where the values are changing the whole time. I really don't know what to on this anymore because I've been on it for a day straight now. All I want to do is figure out how to make one potentiometer work with my DAW, that's it and then take it from there.
Hi, I am looking to build a MIDI controller with at least 72 full rotation (relative) potentiometers sending 7bit / 14bit MIDI. These knobs will be clustered in 9 sets of 8. In addition, I wish to have a 16 step knob (or a slider?) for for each set of 8 knobs that sets the MIDI channel for that set of knobs. This rig will replace my beloved FaderFox PC12 with full rotational (relative) knobs, rapid channel switching, and m uch bigger (say, 3/4inch) heavy duty knobs. It is basically a dream rig for my live synth set up.
you can do it, but you should start with smaller prototypes! I teach how to do all you need in my making music with Arduino course. go.musiconerd.com/making-music-with-arduino
Mine is just using a Piezo switch to convert to MIDI and connect it to my iPad. I will eventuall want to add up to 10 switches. Each programable to produce its' own sound/note.
Hi, very cool and interesting video. Building electronic music circuits changed my life. I am a retired Union electrician and instrumentation technician now. My main controller is a Roland FR-3X virtual accordion. I started building circuits back in the late 1960s. Built PAIA synth/computer. Tried to build a Minimoog at NASA (long story).I was looking for a way to build a very simple midi theremin and stumbled onto your videos. Just sending out one CC value on one channel based on a proximity sensor would work. I like how Merzog modulates a filter with one. Thanks and great work.👍🎶
Olá Gustavo! Acompanho seus tutoriais e acredito que posso construir meus controladores com sua ajuda porém nunca consigo baixar seus códigos. Já registrei o e-mail mas nada! tento baixar os arquivos e... nada! Me ajuda?
That's a great and a little advanced project. Rotary encoders require special pins (pins with interrupts), and are harder to program than the normal pots. But I cover everything in the complete course: nerdmusician.teachable.com/p/making-music-with-arduino
that would be awesome. i would also like to build an controller like the behringer bcr 2000. it has everything you need to control vst from technically view. You can also use it as a Step sequencer because of led ring. i think its called zaquencer. Like it a mulit functional midi controller. on bcr you cant change from step sequencer to midi controller mode.. a hybrid controller.. ??
I’ve got old, broken, 96 keys, analog organs. I’d like to use keyboard from broken organs to build 8 octave, simple MIDI keyboard for GarageBand. I hope this course will explain how to deal with such project.
I want to built a midi mixer for ableton. What I've thought is That for the mixer potentiometers, I would like to to have rotary encoders with leds on the side for indicating the level. So any saved project you open, automatically the encoder shows you the position of the potentiometer in the daw This is like motorized potentiometer but more simple and cheaper
Thanks, would you like to make midi programmer, that would modify midi messages coming in z.b. program change into note on.. or control x change into control change y message…. or note on/pff into program change on another channel…
I'm not going to say that I would like to build it, because I definitely will. I'm going to build a set of foot pedals that control variable resistors, or pots, and foot switches that will toggle between the CCs the pedals are sending out with one switch per pedal. It will have to have some sort of accompanying software either just on board or on a separate computer to choose which CCs each button switches between. I figured out a way to use VST effects on guitar with very little latency so I thought I might assign some contollers to the parameters, but stopping playing every time I want to turn a knob or move a slider is cumbersome, and my feet are free. I figure 4x2 pedals with the button switches on each side next to each one will be about the biggest that will still be practical. This will be my my first electronics and software project ever and to be honest I'm more than a little intimidated, but I think it might be my best option right now so I kinda gotta do it anyway.
I recently bought and arduino mega, i want to make at first octopad(digital drums) but after this i want to make a midi keyboard from my old synthesizer, but after this all, i wan't to buy from aliexpress kit of one hundred piezoelements,buy used the cheapest piano that i can found and made digital piano,using all this
Motorized fader and encoders are way more complex. I teach how to use encoders and could soon and a motorized fader class in the complete course. nerdmusician.teachable.com/p/making-music-with-arduino
I wish I had a use for a light, temperature or humidity sensor in the controller I want to build. They'd be fun to experiment with, but not very practical for onstage playing.
i wanna build a Midi Mixer 9 tracks total ( 8 tracks + 1 Master Track ) .. THe Tracks should have a on/off switch , a faders and a nomb ( if possible 2) .. Thank You so much for the inspiration , I hope i would get help when confused🤭😃❤✨

I am looking for a good explanation so that I can build a midi controller for the sylenth VST synthesizer myself. For this I want to use a Robotdyn mega xpro 2560. The midi controller is modularly built with a vintage look. The first modules I want to build are the midi controllers for the 4 oscillators. In total there will be 14 modules.

Basically i wanna build a midi controller that allows me to take any sound from any instrument or mic and convert it to actual midi notes👌👌👌i also wanna throw in some drum pads that are small enough and versatile to stick on any surface so i can use em on any instrument so i can do easier live looping sessions😏👌imma do the led projects after i get these to work tho😅but i wanna make velocity sensative lights that interacts with the instruments i use and individually with each note i play😁
For what it's worth, I was recently looking into where the current state-of-the-art was in converting sound into MIDI in real time. For the most part existing software wants an existing file to convert. And it is helpful to tell it if it is a melody, polyphony, or drum track. The only thing I found in my admittedly non-exhaustive search was the OVox plugin. It can give MIDI output in real time as well as do a bunch of other things. (www.waves.com/plugins/ovox-vocal-resynthesis#ovox-next-generation-voice-controlled-synth)
@@lannyfuller8367 thats another thing: i dont have a laptop/pc to run plugins cuz i produce... well, i try to produce everythin on my phone and so far, its limitations surpass its potential😅but imma keep this in mind for when i DO get a laptop or pc👌👌👌also, im using a Samsung galaxy j2 prime... i cant even get my otg cable to work and i been lookin for ways to make it work this entire week😥so a laptop or pc would kinda clear all my limitations, ya kno?

Great video. Id like to know how to build a motor fader bank with 8 faders and 8 rotary encoders for DAW control.
Motorized fader and encoders are way more complex. I teach how to use encoders and could soon and a motorized fader class in the complete course. nerdmusician.teachable.com/p/making-music-with-arduino
I wish I had a use for a light, temperature or humidity sensor in the controller I want to build. They'd be fun to experiment with, but not very practical for onstage playing.
i wanna build a Midi Mixer 9 tracks total ( 8 tracks + 1 Master Track ) .. THe Tracks should have a on/off switch , a faders and a nomb ( if possible 2) .. Thank You so much for the inspiration , I hope i would get help when confused🤭😃❤✨
Sos un crack!!! Saludos desde Argentina.
Gracias!
this is such an amazing series and channel overall!
Thanks a lot!!
e aí cara,..... estou estudando pra construir um footcontroller pra usar com o pluguin de guitarra NEURAL DSP,..... I hope to get this done!!!!
Very clear explanation! I’m looking to make a launchpad esque device with mechanical key switches.
Would love to see that!
I would like to build a control surface with the same controls as a subtractive synth in my DAW - using faders, buttons and rotary encoders
That would be awesome! But Encoders require some extra coding!
Great video👍🏼
good video, thanks
could you make a video about the topic "analog effect units for electric guitars"?
One footswitch to microcontroller to usb ove midi host port of hardware.
I need HID driverless midi.
I have trinket 5v, nano 33iot , nano 33BLE
I can build midi , but not HID driverless.
I can build keyboard HID but not MIDI.
help! 🤣
I am wanting to build one for a performance as part of my TAFE college Diploma in Music Industry (Electronic Music Production)
Bro, You should be my School teacher. My whole CSE grad didn't have this. I wasted my money
Thanks a lot, that's the right way of thinking !
hello and thanks for your video. I just need to build a WIRELESS controller with two buttons one to launch effects and one to pause (for example to use with abelton live or Millumin or with Qlab…) just to launc effects from the stage as we are performing a thether piece…thanks for your answer and for your informations
Best regards
I am looking for a good explanation so that I can build a midi controller for the sylenth VST synthesizer myself. For this I want to use a Robotdyn mega xpro 2560. The midi controller is modularly built with a vintage look. The first modules I want to build are the midi controllers for the 4 oscillators. In total there will be 14 modules.
MEU AMIGO POR FAVOR ME AJUDE COMPREI UM ARDUINO MAIS NAO CONSIGO FAZER ELE RECONHECER COMO MIDI
INSTALEI UM POTENCIOMETRO E RECONHECE CERTINHO MAIS NAO DA PRA MAPEAR SE ELE NAO RECONHECER COMO MIDI
Oi José, nesses vídeos mostro exatamente como fazer isso. Só seguir o passo a passo!
@@NerdMusician MUITO OBRIGADO VOU TENTAR SEU EU NAO CONSEGUIR ENTRO EM CONTATO
This was very good my man, very good.
I'd like build my own midi foot controller. Hope to learn from your videos..
Thanks for this, bud. Very inspiring.
I love the way you explain, tqm uwu
I want to create a Midi Footswitch 4 playing guitar on my pc
I'm going to teach how to do it soon.
Very detailed. Needed this, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I wanted build a MIDI controller for piano keyboard.
Converting a piano into a midi keyboard? I’m interested in a similar project.
This is some great information 👍🏻
An 8 button footcontroller with a wah pedal would be nice. I dont see anyone using something like a pedal
A foot pedal is in my list! The wah pedal involves some complicated engineering though. I think I'll do one with an input for expression pedal.
Basically i wanna build a midi controller that allows me to take any sound from any instrument or mic and convert it to actual midi notes👌👌👌i also wanna throw in some drum pads that are small enough and versatile to stick on any surface so i can use em on any instrument so i can do easier live looping sessions😏👌imma do the led projects after i get these to work tho😅but i wanna make velocity sensative lights that interacts with the instruments i use and individually with each note i play😁
For what it's worth, I was recently looking into where the current state-of-the-art was in converting sound into MIDI in real time. For the most part existing software wants an existing file to convert. And it is helpful to tell it if it is a melody, polyphony, or drum track.
The only thing I found in my admittedly non-exhaustive search was the OVox plugin. It can give MIDI output in real time as well as do a bunch of other things. (www.waves.com/plugins/ovox-vocal-resynthesis#ovox-next-generation-voice-controlled-synth)
@@lannyfuller8367 thats another thing: i dont have a laptop/pc to run plugins cuz i produce... well, i try to produce everythin on my phone and so far, its limitations surpass its potential😅but imma keep this in mind for when i DO get a laptop or pc👌👌👌also, im using a Samsung galaxy j2 prime... i cant even get my otg cable to work and i been lookin for ways to make it work this entire week😥so a laptop or pc would kinda clear all my limitations, ya kno?
make a video on how to do a MIDI MIXER SURFACE for logic pro x please
Any model you recommend so I can get "inspired"?
great video. I would love to see implementation with Max for Live.
