Miduino MIDI Projects:
Build these MIDI projects using the Miduino
kit. Each project comes with a pre-programmed Atmega168 microcontroller
pre-loaded with the required project. However the microcontroller
also contains the pre-loaded bootloader, so any project can be erased
and another project programmed into the microcontroller. Read
more.
So ONE single Miduino kit can be used to
do multiple projects and further MIDI experiments.
WARNING:
Note that some projects do NOT require the 4-way DIP switch. These
projects should NOT be run if the 4-way DIP switch has been soldered to
the PCB as the microcontroller could be damaged.
Projects WITHOUT 4-way DIP Switch:
MIDI Input Units
This unit utilizes MIDI Note ON/OFF data from a MIDI drum player, mapping
the Roland TD20, to switch ON/OFF LEDS, corresponding to the pre-selected
MIDI drum.
MIDI Output Units
This unit utilizes MIDI Note ON/OFF data to control LEDS,
Relays, Transistors, Triacs, etc. to switch Lights, Motors, etc. when
combined with suitable output circuitry.
Switch Lights ON/Off in time to the music.
This unit utilizes MIDI Control Change (CC) data to fade Lights
UP/DOWN.
This unit provides the ability to send the single-channel MIDI output
of a keyboard controller into a sort of "MIDI channel mixer/
muter" , where you have the ability (while on stage) to quickly
change which channels (1-16) are duplicating the MIDI input signal
MIDI Special Units
If a MIDI module produces 'stuck' notes which drone on and on,
this design switches all the notes off.
MIDI out Note ON/OFF data is randomly
generated, which can be constrained to certain notes and scales
This unit allows the use of a synthesiser/keyboard as a
"master program selector" without the notes played on the main
keyboard transmitting to a secondary synthesiser/module.
MIDI DRUMS
a 16-way MIDI drum pad system with the velocity
byte fixed at maximum for 10 input drum switches and a 6-way
velocity sensitive circuit, providing a full (0-127) velocity
range using piezo sensors.
MIDI Keyboards
The design is based on a two
row diatonic keyboard with 10+11 keys.
English Concertina with 24+24 (48) notes
Up to 64 note MIDI encoder
MIDI channel and start Note are user programmable
MIDI channel 1 and start MIDI note 24 (C1) to MIDI note 95 (B6)
Projects
WITH 4-way DIP Switch:
MIDI Output Units
The MIDI Program Change Commands can change the sound/voice in a MIDI sound module/synthesiser.
The pots. values can be assigned in MIDI programmes
e.g. Reason, Live, Sonar, Cubase etc. to control various
parameters.
This allows up to 6 analogue inputs (with a range from 0 to 5
volts) to produce selectable MIDI control output commands.
The Theramidi is a new musical device, based on the Theremin.
Output MIDI Note ON/OFF and Pitch Bend control signals when a
ribbon/softpot variable potentiometer is pressed.
This controller behaves like a Vibrato/Tremolo/Pitch Bend
controller on an electric guitar.
This design
uses Infrared distance sensors to convert
physical movement/gestures (e.g. hand, leg,
head etc.) to MIDI Control Change messages.
This is a
MIDI wind controller. The Trumpet interface
design uses a pressure sensor, suitable
amplifier and 5 switches to produce an
output which is translated into velocity
sensitive MIDI Note ON data.
This is a
MIDI wind controller. The Trombone interface
design uses a pressure sensor, suitable
amplifier and 14 switches to produce an
output which is translated into velocity
sensitive MIDI Note ON data
Foot Pedal Units
This is a simple MIDI project to output a MIDI Volume control signal when a foot
pedal variable potentiometer is adjusted.
This already assembled unit converts up to 6 variable potentiometer and up to 6 switch
foot-pedals to an associated MIDI control signal. This unit will work with one,
two or up to all 12 inputs, at the same time. This unit can work in standard
MIDI mode or via the USB connection.
This unit converts up to 6 variable potentiometer and up to 6 switch
foot-pedals to an associated MIDI control signal.
A midi device (VoodooLab's GCX Audio Switcher) that
can be controlled via 8 midi Vontrol Change (CC) messages.
MIDI Input/Output
The MIDI Channel Changer/Combiner can be used to combine MIDI channels (1-16) onto a
single MIDI output channel.
Allows one channel to operate a particular sound module/synthesiser, while filtering out the other MIDI channel data.
Practice and learn a MIDI drum
pattern.
MIDI Converters
The CV/Gate to MIDI unit is capable of converting the output control/gate voltages
from a monophonic synthesiser to MIDI note-on/note-off data commands.
