How I Coded The MIDI Controller With Arduino! - Part 2: Features Of The MIDI Controller

After a solid month & a half of coding with the Arduino, I've finally finished off the features of the MIDI Controller!
Join me in part 2 of this series where we take a look at the various features of the controller. From a simple play mode, to an arp mode & even a MIDI File playback mode!
Enjoy!
Find the code here on github:

It's still a work in progress and needs extensive commenting - but feel free to use it yourself, modify or just straight up blast me for bad coding practises xD

I like how you approached this project without a keyboard player's preconceived notions to come up with some inventive functions. I did something like this with organ pedals but kept it really simple - transpose, MIDI channel, MIDI program select and fixed velocity. I also included a panic button to clear stuck notes. It was my first project and very fragile (broke when I looked at it wrong), so I hard-coded it to channel 1, no program select, no transpose and velocity of 100, with no display. This worked fine for dedicated organ pedals, and it is ready to go as soon as it powers on.

Very good project Could you show the construction circuit?

Hi .. Brother help me out ....with simple arduino uno usb midi project. ...... im. Not getting any Signal on ipad Basically i want to use arduino usb midi with ipad
Any Suggestion ????

[@sebbothebushnerd]

Hey mate, I haven't used the USB protocol with MIDI before, so I don't have any advice to offer I'm sorry!
You could make a post on the Modwiggler forum or Synth DIY groups on FB/Reddit - I'm sure someone there will have some knowledge for you 😄

[@gguitarwilly]

The Arduino Uno has no midi. But you can connect a midi plug to it and use a midi to USB converter cable to connected it to the iPad

[@mylifemyrules3759]

@@gguitarwilly hi. Thank you so much. For ur rply & can uh plz suggest any cheap BLE module which can Work as BLE midi. Device

[@gguitarwilly]

No, I’m sorry. I don’t use Bluetooth midi myself..

@@mylifemyrules3759 Hi, I don't know if it's too late, but I just wanted to give you some recommendations if you haven't come up with options yet. You could consider going for an ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico W. You could get these relatively cheap apiece. You could also go ahead to use one of the smaller Arduinos like the Pro Micro, or even a relatively larger Leonardo. If you intend to use USB, just make sure that your Arduino is USB compliant - this makes it readily recognizable as a USB device when plugged into a system. But since you mentioned BLE, I'll recommend looking at the Arduino boards that possess that feature (I don't readily have any in mind, but there should be quite a few). With ESP32's and RPis equipped with BLE though, you're good, and they're fairly cheap. On the side, I feel this channel could be of help: @NerdMusician
