Potentiometers to MIDI Controller Change

The 6 poteniometers are wired to the 6 analogue inputs of the Miduino board. The program is design to output 6 associated controller values. These values can be assigned in MIDI programmes e.g. Reason, Live, Sonar, Cubase etc. to control various parameters within these programmes. The MIDI output channel (1 to 16) can be selected by the 4-way DIP switch.

 

 

 

	6 POTS to MIDI CC Out ITEM#: 6POTS2MID PRICE:  €35.00

 

 

The MIDI  6-way Controller unit utilizes:

• A Miduino kit including a suitable pre-programmed Atmega168,
• A 2.1mm power socket, and associated LED, 
• A 4-way DIP switch, which selects the MIDI channel at power-on, or in programme mode, shown in table 1
• A MIDI 5-pin DIN input socket,
• A MIDI 5-pin DIN output socket,
• A MIDI activity LED,
• 6 off 0.1" pin-terminal potentiometer inputs,
• The circuit schematic is available,

 

 

  

  

The MIDI  6-way Controller unit requires:

• A 9 Volt battery or equivalent 9 Volt DC power source
• 6  linear 10k potentiometers

 

Assembly:

The kit includes all parts necessary, the assembly is straightforward and well documented. This design does not include a USB chip, it is designed to use a FTDI USB 232-TTL cable to program the microcontroller.  However since the cable plugs directly into the Miduino, you can use one cable for multiple Miduinos.

   

MIDI Wiring:

The MIDI  OUT connector uses a  5-Pin 180 degree DIN sockets. Note that the MIDI IN/OUT wiring is polarised and the correct pins should be used.
