DIY wireless MIDI with the ESP32 and KLIK3

The KontinuumLAB Instrument Kit keeps evolving.
I'm currently working on the 3rd version of the KLIK which, among other new features, will have wireless MIDI over Bluetooth, which easily connects to your phone or tablet. In this video I talk about what that means and show you how it works.

Really an Crazy engineer 🤝 appreciating your work✨

Hi there! I am looking into designing my own instrument in the future, and your channel happened to be just a treasure of content on everything I would ever need: from woodwind mouthpieces to multi-capacitive touch sensors.

You mentioned in this video that you managed to create a board that supports up to 48 touch sensors, and that you will make a video on it in the future. Really looking forward to it, since I happen to need exactly 48 sensors on my instrument :)

Anyway, love your content, love your channel, thank you so much for sharing your DIY knowledge in an open and easy to understand format!

For those who may be unaware, there are relatively low cost USB to BT Midi adaptors like the Yamaha UD-BT01 which works great with very low latency on Android Windows and Apple devices... Just in case someone may be looking for a non DIY solution, I made my own EVI and this BT midi adapter works great.

This is a great development! A cheap solution for a highly portable DIY-instrument is a good direction to take. Looking forward to the future videos!

You are right... I decided to use the ESP-32 to add pitch bend and Midi messaging to my EVI using an accelerometer and tilt up/down/left/right. Could not find the Lolin here so I used the ESP-Wroom-32. Just finished the code and it works wonderfully on BLE, inclusive of low pass filtering on movements and tilt curves. Unfortunately I am not a programmer, but fortunately ChatGPT is!. A little debugging was needed but amazing what can be achieved with AI tools these days 🙂

Fluidsynth on Android is a very good solution as you can load your preferred .sf2 file and then simply connect the esp32 via BTLE and you are good to go...
Great content! KontinuumLAB you are cool

Beautiful work! Im checking out your site!

[MarcoAurelioZoqui]

Great job! Can't wait for the next post.

[maikeru]

this is so rad! can't wait to get it!

[RajivDeo]

Way to go! Please explain more about ESP32 and BLE code and libraries used. I am working on a DIY BLE rhythm instrument which uses Bessel function to generate drum sounds

[drjml]

Very professional presentation. Where can I get the code?

[waltergodsoe]

Been working on a new idea for an instrument, the chip you mention, the ESP32, will be looked into. What synth chip do you use to mate with the ESP32?

Is it possible to turn an eccomimi brain sensor into an EEG midi drone synth responds to your brain waves. Reason why I ask is cause I just picked up an eccomimi at the Goodwill fo $8

[flywittzbeats]

Do you use a raspberry pi for onboard instruments?? And I am patiently waiting for this kit to drop! Can I get on a waiting list for it? I am also wondering if you go over arduino coding in the kits… thank you SO SO MUCH

[eross]

what battery is this? and what are the keys made of?

[motosmartcell]

boa tarde, tennho um esp32 e gostaria de fazer um interface midi bluetooth pode me ajudar com squete e pinos de ligaçao diy.

[dtone]

Would there be any way to have more than 48 sensors? I want to build a midi concertina with over 50 buttons. Also, have you tried any Android midi apps that allow you to download your own .sf2 files? E.g. Fluidsynth.

[Unbox-videos]

Hi ….does it wrk with iPad / iPhone device ? …. If not thn plz suggest which ble module works fine with iPhone/ ipad ? For MIDI over ble

[swoodc]

Can you make a saxophone midi out of a used sax?

[payentertainment]

we need midi wireless USB.... is there any tutorial to make it with esp32?
yamaha, widi, cme is much expensive price...
