Your tutorials are SO on point! Thanks! I took a mini course about arduino and I felt in love with it and I'm willing to buy my first kit in the next few weeks. Your channel is a gold mine to people who are primaly interest in music things and want to give the first steps without being overwhelmed in the beginning by all the electronic and eletric stuff that fill tons of pages in manuals! I saw some cool ideas about sequencers, but being a totally dummie in arduinos, the videos that I saw didn't covered with such details as yours. I'm just suggesting that would be awesome if you made some project that can sequence samples, or even synth sounds. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Awesome stuff thanks Dave. I had trouble getting this working, pots working fine, tested them separately. I went to the MIDI output tutorial and in that one you recommend to disconnect the wire coming from the TX pin on the Arduino while uploading the code. I was leaving it connected before and I guess that was the problem because now it works great.

still working on it. i had it working set up the way you do it but when i tried to install the pot into an extra enclosure suddenly it didn't work. i used a couple TRS plugs and TRS cable to connect the two...i think my soldering job is just garbage and i need to redo it lol.

5:46 you can use the MAP() function which takes 5 parameters exemple: (myPot, 0,1023, 0 , 127)

Upon finishing the Arduino MIDI project, I have it without the MIDI connector; it's directly connected via the USB cable from the Arduino for the connection. It provides the values that are reflected, but in the DAW Reaper that I use, it doesn't recognize them for assignment, as turning the potentiometer doesn't assign a value.

The main requirement to make it work is the data, which we need to upload in to Arduino, I wish you provided the exact link 😉

Great! Thanks! What about encoders (infinite pots) and motorized faders? Would be great to have such video. I started (and already freezed) a project couple months ago making something like Mackie MCU (or any other control surface) with Arduino. Their price is very high and it would be great to have such video on this subject as everybody would want to make something similar at home for their home studio. Thanks again for such useful video.

What's the maximum number of pots that can be used?

Is there any way to change the midi socket to a USB printer socket?

It may be a basic question/answer, but why do we attach the 220Ohm resistor between the transmit on the Arduion and Pin 5 on the MIDI port? Is this similar to adding the 4.7K between Pin 7 on the 6N138 to help discharge capacitive charges?

Is there a way to directly use USB as MIDI instead of the MIDI jack?

Hi, Great video. I have tried this project, but the Arduino nano's TX led is continuously lights up. When I use a button on pin 2 to send note on/off messages it works fine, and the TX led is only lights up on pressing and releasing button, my midi Synth also playing the note, but with potentiometer there is no change. I have tested analogue read program to see if there is noise in adc reading but the readings are stable. I have changed the analogue pins from A0 to A7 but the result is the same? Please help me to sort this out, please give me a reply.

The pot works until it is left alone for 2seconds; it stops sending any midi, unitl the unit is reset.. Any ideas?

Firstly, great video! Extremely helpful and clear. Secondly, has anyone tried using different potentiometer values such as 100k? Are there any significant changes and do you need to adjust the code?

@gabrielemanniello

4 жыл бұрын

Of course the values will be different, the potentiometer will go from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100k, so you need to divide the analog signal by 70 instead of 7 in order to make it work as the same, otherwise the potentiometer will reach the midi limit value 127 really soon and it will not work for the rest of the potentiometer spin

I have two pots set up, PO1 and PO2. I have tried them on different pins, A0 thru A5) but no matter how I connect it, one pot will trigger both control changes at once. no matter which pot I use, or even if I only wire one of them up. Any idea what to look for?

I need a MIDI CC expression controller in a foot pedal - I searched eBay and Google high and low, nothing. I do however have an Arduino and an old wah pedal, hmmm...

Buenas, muy buenos los videos, me vienen bien para un proyecto que estoy haciendo. Hago una consulta, como podría agregar un encoder rotativo? En la misma librería. Ya que lo que necesito es usar, botones, faders y unnoar de encoders

I'm guessing that shifting bits right by 3 and left by 3 is to mask the lower 3 bits? _value = analogRead(_pin); _value = _value >> 3; _oldValue = _value

There is a fonction called map() that remap a port , map(A0, 0, 127)... 😉

Finally !

Thank you very much for theses videos. I have learnt a significant amount and have watched many of your videos. How does one go about adding a switch to this project to enable the ability to swap MIDI channels? (specifically, using an external Arduino like the older model - Dueminalove)

in my case it works perfect until I put the potentiometer number 4, it sends constantly midi signals although I do not want, could someone help me ?.

Is it possible to send the midi signal back out of the USB connection instead of down the MIDI port?

Fantastic, would this work on a Tinsee 2?

This video is perfect! Is there any way we can send pitch bend message through pots? I am trying to make a control surface using MCU protocol, and it requires pitch bend messages to be sent for controlling faders in the DAW.

I tried this and used just two pots, the pots are used at foot expression pedals (10k Linear each) when it's set to just one it works perfectly but when I add the second pot the midi info in OX just keeps scrolling, even when the foot pedal is not even plugged in. Also if it is just set to use one pot and I plug the foot controller into the second pot socket it still recognises something is plugged in and keeps scrolling, what's going on here then?!

so i'm still working on my wah wah thing. i found adding a 10k static resistor between the middle pin to gound and the analog pin keeps the voltage from bouncing around. i have no idea why this works lol. thanx again dave! :D

Hi, Is there anybody has tried connect this to DAW software via USB MIDI cable? I have connected it by USB MIDI cable. The MIDI cc signal became none continued, CC signal only transmit one data each time I turn the knob. But it worked correctly when I connect it to my Synthsizer. I want to use it to control my able tone live. Is there any suggestion to connect PC which has no MIDI port? I mentioned USB MIDI cable that is I bought it from China. The cable is USB to MIDI 5pin. I connected the 5 pin MIDI to the Arsuino. The USB to my computer.

How many potentiometers can you have with Arduino UNO? only 6?

Should the potentiometers still be connected the same if I don't use a midi jack?

thank you for the tutorial, i would like to build a project like this but with 8 pots, i have an arduino uno like yours, how can i do it?

you have to use a multiplexer, i'm doing the same project myself right now. Notes and Volts has a few vinds on it. go see the ones with 'multiplexer' in the title!

Hello and THANK YOU SO MUCH for such an amazing tutorial! Everything is easy to understand, even thought English is not my primary language... I only have one question: Is it possible to set the MIDI CC to be sent in OMNI mode? For example.: I am not sure if my Keyboard is on channel 2 or channel 10, so i simply set up the notes to be sent in OMNI mode, so I dont have to worry about choosing the right channel... I tried to setup the MIDI channel on the code as "0", but it dif not work... Thanks i advance!

Great video! I have a specific question: is it possible to build a midi contrroller with several voltage outputs? I have an obolete duophonic analog synth and I can't control it using any contoller or computer. The only controller possible is using many hands to turn knobs and smash keys. I've seen some DIY projects but my synth has unusual design and it can't be upgraded using standart midi converters. It needs something customized.

Could I possibly build this kind of thing but for 1 single pot that I can install on a guitar?

can you do the same with an arduino duemilanove?

8:50 With the software I downloaded from Notes & Volts the line of code you highlight is commented out, gotta delete the "//"

From where the circuit gets 5 V power. There is no separate power source shown in the circuit

but can't we use the (127./1023.)*potval for a super accurate answer instead of 1023/8. potval is the value coming from potentiometers (127./1023.)*1023 = 127 (127./1023.)*511.5 = 63.5 (127./1023.)*0 = 0

Hi, What about banks with pots or buttons in this code.

HI, thanks for this tut, its nice and clear. I have a question, will those things with pots, buttons and multiplexing inputs work the same on Arduino Mega2560. I would love to built my self mix console with cca 64 pots and faders plus some buttons and flash reading back midi cc. I read somewhere that Uno has small ram and it would not work. Do you think that it would work the same way as on Uno in your tutorials. I mean the library, coding etc? Thank you again for the tutorial

Don't you want a small value capacitor to decouple the midi jack? Some midi devices don't play nicely and could burn out the uno.

Hello! This might not be the best place to ask for support but I've started having problems with this project recently. I've updated my system recently and have now found that the midi controller built with this code doesn't work anymore. My computer and DAW recognise the USB midi cable coming from the project and the light indicating that there is CC going through the cable is blinking when I turn controls yet none are reaching my DAW. I have also tried switching cables but I just came to the same result. Have there been any cases like this before? I haven't tried reuploading the code yet but that shouldn't really affect anything since nothing changes in the code right? Worked amazing before though and the code has sparked some really great projects for me.

Hey! I wonder why do you have to make these signals MIDI CC? Wouldnt it also be recognized by DAWs if you connect the circuit with the Arduino via USB?

Sweet vid mate, thanks.. Question... What would I do if I wanted say 20 pots?
