Hi, thanks for uploading this, I've been trying to build some bass pedals for a while but I got stuck on the code. May I suggest one improvement to the hardware though - use the bass pedals from a junk organ instead of switches. It's likely a little more work but it will end with a more useable set of pedals.
Dave, totally brilliant thanks, is there a way to add multiple chord patterns? Eg in a live situation where I’m playing different songs switching between songs with preset chords? Ie C may be major for one song but Cm7 for next., fab work by the way ,greeting from the UK
finally... Very close to what I want tp do. would it be possible to add midi program up and down? Im getting ready to rebuild an 18 step version. i was going to go with an Arduino, But this seems to have most of the features I want.
Hey Dave, this is awesome! Thanks!! It's pretty much what I was asking you about a while back when I sent you a group of diagrams of what I was looking for, but my idea had program up and program down buttons and an LCD that displays the program number. I'm also curious if the keys can be split to drive an Arduino Nano to be used for on board sounds in addition to the MIDI out. BTW, I have a set of pedals from a Hammond Organ that will be used for the keyboard.
Hi Robin. You can definitely reprogram the buttons to send any midi message. The Teensy also has synth functions so you could possibly output sound from the same chip. Check out my Teensy-Synth project to see what it can do.
@@NotesAndVolts Hey Dave, Yeah the TS-1 was one of several of your projects that I built. I may look to retrofit a TS-1 into my pedals with this project. Are there any more of the original TS-1 boards available for purchase? Thanks again!
This is cool but please consider a passive debounce network on every switch instead of just bounce2.h if moving past the breadboard stage. It's cheap and you'll get some extra peace of mind.
Thanks Dave, I will build one 😊

Awesome...been hoping you might venture into one of these one day!
Thanks!

Have you ever considered using a Pi Pico?
I've never tried the Pi Pico since I don't really like Python. But I see you can also use C so I might have to take a look. 👍
@@NotesAndVolts - I use MicroPython. When I'm lazy, I use ChatGPT to write the code for me!

I've never had any issues with the software debounce but thank you for the tip 👍
