#1 How to Build a MIDI controller with an Arduino: The DIY MIDI Controller Workshop 2.0

In this class you will learn:
🎹 Why you should be making your own MIDI controllers.
🎹 What is MIDI.
🎹 What is an Arduino and what it can do for you.

Where to buy:

In the DIY MIDI Controller Workshop, you will learn the first steps on how you can build your own MIDI controllers using the Arduino platform! The Arduino is a super low-cost, super powerful board, made for people, like you and me, without an engineering background. With an Arduino we can build an infinity of things, from robots to MIDI controllers! And... spending a fraction of the money you would spend in a factory MIDI controller. I promise it will be a game changer for you once you learn how to build your own equipment! So, if you are a DJ, VJ, music producer, audio engineer, multimedia artist, or any type of professional that works with music/visuals and a computer, you'll love this free course!

I am currently working on a capacitive touch MIDI controller for my cats to use. I'll say that your explanation was excellent. I am an absolute beginner and you broke these ideas down into their simplest parts in a way that others haven't. Thank you!

This feels like a life changing video for me. Always was curious about arduino and just today I was thinking of building a wah pedal for myself. But the way you explained made this really clear.

My plan is building Ableton auto mapped 8 macros potentiometers with track switching and device switching with a screen for each knobs. it's crazy that you cannot find any on the market, like I cannot be the only one that needs one !

I’m currently building a Bluetooth drum machine using a Adafruit feather m0. I have it recognized in the software I am having problems with getting the midi notes to trigger from the breadboard prototype I’m using.

Hi man, i'm mexican and i'm studying mechatronic, and i love the electronic music, so thank you so much for took the time to upload these videos, you did that i can do one of my dreams, and find a purpose to my career

I want to build a 5 keyboard (61 on/off keys each), 1 pedalboard (32 on/off notes) pipe organ console with 5 analog (linear or possibly rotary potentiometers) pedal controllers and approx 120 stops (latching on/off buttons similar to a pinball machine buttons) and about 60 small momentary preset push buttons for basically sending sysex type messages ('registrations or combinations of stops).
I can do with 6 separate boards, but the biggest Arduino board I have found is the Mega which only has 53 digital I/O and I need at least 61 for each keyboard manual.
Then I need to decide if I want each board to output MIDI and use a midi merge, or if I should output each as USB to a USB hub and then into the computer and use something like hairless (is that right) to convert to midi for a virtual pipe organ software called Hauptwerk.
I have the keys and pedals. I just need to figure out how to build the adapters without much latency (note lag).

This is indeed one of the most underrated channels...

The way you describe and present the information on MIDI and the Boards was so easy to understand ! I’m about to build a set of drum pads for my father to record and stop, instead of paying 150+ dollars for one. I just hope to understand the c coding language as well as the other ones that I’ve worked with.

I’m building a footswitch to control the Prime Multitrack app. Just ordered my Arduino Uno in a starter kit so it gives me an LCD screen so I can have the actions of the buttons and song show up as I select rhem

This guy would be more impactful if he used his hands more when talking.

[IVIitsu]

Sua didática é incrível, brinco com arduino faz um tempinho e achei que vc conseguiu explicar de forma que qualquer um pudesse entender, sem complicações =)
Parabéns

[rudybarbosa]

Hey I'm trying to figure out how to put a midi output onto a guitar would you be able to recommend a video or go in depth on something like that?

[paulfedrau]

Will do a pretty similiar project like rebuilding the midi twister. Thank you for this video!

[igorgodinho]

Fantástico vídeo!!!
Vou acompanhar a série e construir um controlador pros efeitos da SP-404 Mk2!!!

[TheDavidPoole]

I love your enthusiasm. You make a good educator.

[hectorsantos]

I'm Brazillian and this is fantastic. Não acredito que este canal existe.

I would like to build a controller for Spitfire Audio Plugins or the Kontact Player for specific CC midi control like Expression, Vibrato and Dynamics. Also to select between articulations which is currently difficult to use because I have to assign them to key switches. Any guidance would be helpful.

[sundayogbe]

thanks man for the explanation in your video I really enjoy listening to your explanation please you got to help me with this I actually have no idea about coding but I do want to build a MIDI bass guitar but for the coding I don't know how to go about it please is there anything you can tell about that?

[ruudvanroijen]

What infectious enthusiasm. I have already watched a lot of youtube videos and visited forums but not yet found what I am looking for. modulair

[MrHydeInMe]

Hey, sounds pretty good. I already have an Arduino and now are searching for infos about making it serve as a midi controller. My main goal is to use this controller for controlling the parameters for vst effect plugins inside my daw. Unfortunately - after some research - it seams that I cannot do the project like it was initially planned. This is because I wanted to integrate displays in my midi controller (e.g. VU meter) that for example displays the Gain reduction of a compressor plugin. Unfortunately it seems like I cannot get any GR data from the plugin via midi. So it looks like it will be a controller only and all the visual stuff is still on the VST ui :-(
