Great design! I know this is lazy, but would you make and sell one that I can modify the commands for via Arduino for my M9? No display, just 5 buttons and leds?
Yes! It worked perfectly on the amplitube, only on the Bias fx, which would have to insert a value contNum = 11 for each Button; // CC # for on / off on that line I imagine?
Example ! You used a Constant number 11 to turn the Fx on and off. I would like to know how it is possible to declare more constants for each button, you know?
Hi! Thank you so much for the video! I finally got the courage to build one just like it, but I ran into some issues. Could you help me out? I’m not sure what to do. I followed the assembly diagram carefully and double-checked all connections three times. The pedal switches perfectly between banks 1, 2, and 3, but in bank 2, the number 2 looks weird, almost like a 6. Another issue is when I press switch B, it turns on LED C, and pressing C lights up LED B. The biggest problem is when I connect it to my M5, it doesn’t change any presets. Do you know what might be going wrong? I copied everything exactly as in the video but now I’m lost and desperate. Thank you so much! Cheers! 😁🙌
Yeah it could be programmed to send any midi data you want, so would work with any pedal that has a midi in - you just need to know which commands to send for the required functions. Most pedals' user manuals will tell you what midi messages will do what.
@@joyielai1619 I bent the legs of the display inwards then cut the resistor legs fairly short and then used some heat shrink over each one, so yeah, while they are pretty much hanging out the back, they're kept fairly solid
Not with the Arduino board I used, but some do support midi over usb; some of the larger ones, the micro, and I think all the Teensy boards. Otherwise you could probably just use it as-is with a usb to midi cable
Hey! Congratulations to that great work, and thank you for sharing this! I built a controller for my Line6 HX Stomp. One question to you: When enabling an effect on one preset, the FX LED goes on, showing effect is on.. But, when I then change preset, where that effect is saved to be off, the LED is still on.. Do you have an idea on how to solve this? So, if button is pressed, it should always enable the effect, not only once when the button is pressed.. I hope you get my "problem". Maybe you can help me out with this :-/ Thanks so much in advance!
Hey @ScheliJR, have you built a midi for your hx? it's working? All be glad if you share the project.. I'm thinking about make one for my hx stomp unity
Not with the Arduino I used and I haven't done it before but you can get boards which will handle midi over USB - those with an atmega32u4 chip. There's a MIDIUSB library so this code would need tweaking.
Judging by your foam and table, I guess you are the same guy who modded a Zoom MS50 with a hot-glued momentary switch? Have you tried modding a MIDI USB controller with the Zoom?
@@FixedFrequencies1 thanks for your response, im using nux mg300 and still trial and error at building my own controller. I hope i can make it as good as yours😁
Awesome! u should feel proud of yourself mate, looks nice. I plan to build one but for Pro presenter use, if possible :). Is the programming part difficult? I’m good with electronics stuff but the PC coding..hmmm lol 😂
Parts were tricky for me, but I really enjoyed the process. If I was able to end up with something usable means it can't be too hard! I'd recommend one of these: store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-starter-kit or you can find a knockoff version for under 20 bucks..
If you don’t need banking it’ll be much more straightforward. You can use any Arduino (I used a nano), and apart from resistors, LEDs, DC jack and midi jack (Female DIN 5/180) I got at my local electronics store, I bought the footswitches (SPST momentary), and enclosure (Hammond 254x70x30mm) online. I can point you to some specific stuff if you need, depending where you are.
Hey, if you have a part list it would be nice for me to start! I want to build this like you have but I never worked with midi. I'm from Germany, but musikding do not have all parts, maybe you can give me some help?
I stumbled across a bug when an effect is active (one of the controller foot switches LEDs is lit) and either the M5's “on/off” or “Tap” foot switches are pressed and then one of the Midi controllers foot switches are pressed; it will save the current displayed effect to 1 slot higher or lower than the current foot switch. Did you see this happening or did I mess up the code? It's like it combined commands or something. Thanks for making an awesome controller, it works, besides this unintentional bug.
I'm not too sure as to the exact cost, I had some parts already, but if you were to buy everything from Banggood or similar (and wait a while), you could do it for around 50€. I might have spent closer to 100 buying some things locally. Is it worth it? For me it absolutely was for the challenge alone, and making something to the exact specs I wanted.
Not with the Arduino I used and I haven't done before it but you can get boards which will handle midi over USB - those with an atmega32u4 chip. There's a MIDIUSB library so this code would need tweaking.
Hey man, may I ask for some help for a bit different coding for this? I only need 8 switches and 1 exp. pedal to send CC messages. Can you help me with the coding?
i got the EV5 for my M5 pedal but the polarity seems to be reversed, did you have to modify your EV5? also are you getting the full range? awesome video!
No I didn't have to do anything for it to work. I can't remember if I had to change any settings in the M5 but don't think so and I've never never had any issues with range.
Hi, thanks for the video. Please, I want to set up something like yours, but instead of sending MIDI commands, I would receive and trigger a loop for pedals. do you think your code could help me in any way?
Hello Workshy, that is very interesting. Is it very difficult to learn the Arduino basics needed for this kind of DIY? I have made some programming languages from Basic to a bit of C in the past but never used an Arduino before. How much time you time do you think it takes to catch up with Arduino development with a background like mine?
Not at all! As far as Arduino projects go, it’s mainly just buttons and LEDs.. I didn’t have any experience before this. I just broke it down into steps - getting the buttons to work, then the LEDs/display, then the banking, then the midi, so in that respect it was a great introduction to the Arduino basics while working towards something useful. It took me quite a while to wrap my head around how to logically lay out the code to do everything I wanted but that was a good challenge. There are so many good resources online too and I’m sure if you’ve had even a bit of programming experience before, it won’t be hard at all. Let me know how you get on with it if you try
I’m not 100% on the correct name - they’re ‘PCB Connectors’ on the site where I bought them - www.musikding.de/PCB-Connectors, but seems like they also go by polarised connectors/headers. They have the same spacing as the Arduino pins, so yeah, I soldered the detachable end on at 90 degrees so I have an easier way of swapping out the Arduino if it ever dies.
Thank you, Workshy, for making this video! I'm thinking of building a USB MIDI Controller, so I can control my Boss GT-1. The GT-1 doesn't have MIDI ins and outs, so do you know how I would go about doing this? I would like the pedal to do like yours, with recalling patches, activating effects, etc. Thanks for your help and time. Cheers.
Hello workshy, could I please know where I could obtain your code for this project, been dying to get more control over the m5 for a while. Also, what were the ratings for your resistors? This looks like an amazing job, please reply ASAP, THANK YOU!
Hey, no I haven't - it's pretty robust. I've not had any issues with it but if I made it again, or was going to use it live a lot, I'd maybe simplify things.
It would, but would maybe require a few tweaks based on the M9 midi commands as there is more midi functionality than the M5 (controlling the looper etc.)
Hmm good question..., I had the Arduino and almost all the components already (LEDs, display, resistors etc.) but you can get kits with all that included fairly cheaply, and Arduino clones are a couple of bucks each as were the footswitches. I paid almost 15 - 20 for the enclosure as I wanted it quickly, but you can find them way cheaper online, or reuse an old amp footswitch as I was originally gonna do so you could probably get everything online for 40 - 50 euro/dollars if you shopped around.
I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, I’ve literally just recently been introduced to the world of programming and arduino, but will this work with bias fx? Or any amp sim software?
You can program it to send out any midi messages you want, so it should work with anything provided you know what midi to send and tweak the code accordingly. I uploaded a video a couple of month ago with a single button footswitch for use with Ableton Live. Same basic concept as this but much simpler, so might be a good place to start if you want to play around with sending midi
I have a Headrush gigboard and because of the awesome touchscreen, I usually have it on my desk. I've been looking for a 4 momentary footswitches board to replace the ones on the gigboard without having to put it on the floor, but they are damn expensive. Do you think your project would work? Thanks in advance
Hey, I'm not familiar with the gigboard but yeah it should work fine with some tweaks. A cursory search brought up this page: www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/headrush-gigboard-midi-question.2022166/ where the midi CC parameters for the different buttons are shown.
@@FixedFrequencies1 actually the official manual includes the chart with the CC values. The only requierement is that footswitches must be momentary, I mean, with a single punch of the button an ON - OFF must be sent to the gigboard.
@@roccanto86 I can't recall exactly how I set it up for this, but that's definitely possible. If you check out the last video I made to control the Looper in Ableton, that needed an on message when the momentary switch is pressed, and off as soon as it's released which might be what you mean? that effectively sends the two messages for what would be a 'normal' press of a footswitch.
Hello! Thanks for the video! I'm trying to make your project and everything goes right, but I don't know what is the pinout for the DIN connector! I'm going crazy! Can you help me please? Thank you!!
Do you mean the specific pins I used, or generally how the din connection works?. I think I used this guide when setting it up: www.instructables.com/id/Send-and-Receive-MIDI-with-Arduino
@@ivanolo4 Hey, sorry for the delay. So that pin is for an on/off switch that changes whether the effect is latching i.e. on or off with each footswitch press, or if the effect is on only while the footswitch is held down and off when lifted. It's definitely not necessary, and if you don't want that option, you can ignore it and you don't need to use the switch/case block of code, you just need to keep the part that is below 'case 0'
Yeah it would work but as it sends the midi over a 5 pin cable and not usb, you'd need a usb midi interface, or an audio interface that has midi in (most do and I've had it working in Ableton through my cheap Steinberg interface). The midi commands would also need to be changed in the code depending on what Amplitube uses and what functions you'd want it for
Thank you friend for meeting my request, I already downloaded the arduino file. I'd like to know what the function of that board is below the arduino when you mount the foot controller, it appears in 2: 01s of the video, I mean a green board. What is her function? would it be possible for you to send a diagram with wires links on the arduino board? can be made by hand even in a jpg image. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Ah that was just to secure the Arduino to; there's nothing on it. I don't have any circuit diagrams sorry, and I'd have to take it apart to remember how it all went together.
Great work Workshy. If anyone managers to make this and is willing to share the schematic that would be much appreciated. My Arduino skill is quite low with only one project under my belt so far.
HI :) I have line6m5 and want to build the same controller:) Could you help me in my arduino-adventure and show me your scheme? If it is not a problem for you ;) Thanks for the tutorial ;)

Yes it's working, but with only one possibility, would you be able to add it to the other buttons?

Yeah it would work but as it sends the midi over a 5 pin cable and not usb, you'd need a usb midi interface, or an audio interface that has midi in (most do and I've had it working in Ableton through my cheap Steinberg interface). The midi commands would also need to be changed in the code depending on what Amplitube uses and what functions you'd want it for
Hello, thank you, bring your knowledge, I ask you if I build this Midi Controller, will it work with BOSS GT 1000? . Thank you
Yes, but you'd have to change the midi messages to the ones that boss uses for that pedal
Hello, thank you for your answer, could you suggest how I do to get that information since I do not get the idea. Thank you again
@@lamparolalo2036 look for it in the manual.. under assignment
Thank you friend for meeting my request, I already downloaded the arduino file.
I'd like to know what the function of that board is below the arduino when you mount the foot controller, it appears in 2: 01s of the video, I mean a green board. What is her function? would it be possible for you to send a diagram with wires links on the arduino board? can be made by hand even in a jpg image. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Ah that was just to secure the Arduino to; there's nothing on it. I don't have any circuit diagrams sorry, and I'd have to take it apart to remember how it all went together.
Hey man this is so cool! So the controller is powered by the M5 thru 5-pin MIDI?
Thanks! No, it uses a standard 9v jack, so I just daisy chain it from other pedal
How did you built the case ?
Please, make .ino file for footswitch with 4 preset buttons and 2 bank buttons (bank up and bank down).
Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great work Workshy.
If anyone managers to make this and is willing to share the
schematic that would be much appreciated.
My Arduino skill is quite low with only one project under my belt so far.
HI :) I have line6m5 and want to build the same controller:) Could you help me in my arduino-adventure and show me your scheme? If it is not a problem for you ;) Thanks for the tutorial ;)
Could you send me your CODE? ;) p.jesionek@gmail.com ;)

Workshy thnx
Amazing! Is it possible to use this switch to turn each effect of m5 on/off independent just by it self? (Without pressing it on m5 everytime)
yes, you can toggle each effect on and off
will pay for someone to build me one for looper function for line 6. message me.
Did you get any responses yet? I'm working on a foot controller now that is similar to the one in the video.
Brian Kirby no responses
Brian Kirby There are companies that make them but they are around $300 and at that price point I would just make sense to buy another looper
Can I have you make one for me I’ll pay you for it!
I need one of these! Someone please build it for me. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I have money haha.
Can use this to control Bias FX ?
Hi broo...i have problem with midi controller for M5.. I have set in to OMNI but still not respon.. can you help me?
did you manage to remake the editing on the arduino? i don't :-/

Is this work for nux mg 300?
