AMAZING THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I got this to work on Windows 11, the ”boards” text file is located in C/Users/username/AppData/Local/Arduino15/Packages/arduino/hardware/avr/1.8.6
I found out that you can just copy and paste the section between the ############, rename all "micro" instances in the new section to "micro2", and then an extra board entry appears in the boards menu. Then it's easier to switch between USB names.
vid stands for "vendor ID" and pid for "product ID", and actually you'd have to be a member of USB.org and pay quite a bit to get your own vendor ID. But as long as you don't sell your Arduino project I guess nobody cares what you do.
Hello, thanks for the great video. I want to connect two Arduinos to Abelton Live, however it does not seem to work. My computer is just in an endless loading loop. When I disconnect one Arduino, it seems to work again. I changed the name of one Arduino, but that did not help. Does someone have an idea what I can do here? (The Arduinos send Midi on two different channels)
Thank you so much for uploading these, it works great! One issue, I would really appreciate the help- sometimes there is interference between the Arduino controller and my other midi controllers. When turning a knob on the Arduino, the user modes on my other midi surface keeps changing/scrolling completely randomly. They are on separate midi channels. Please help!
@NerdMusician Does this solution still work today? In my case no. The Java folder does not exist in my "Contents" folder. Anyone else in the same situation?
Hi there. Thanks for the vid. I'm doing everything correctly, including repasting the " "s and changing those two numbers and the name does not change in Ableton once I have re-uploaded to the Arduino? I'm using a Micro Pro. Any tips? Thanks :)
Excelente material. Gostaria de tirar uma dúvida se possível. Estava lendo esse tópico forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=535526.0 e não consegui descobrir se a pessoa conseguiu resolver o que estava tentando fazer. A questão é, pretendo criar uma placa baseada no chip utilizado para o arduino uno. Se fizer a mesma coisa que você fez, já seria o suficiente para tanto o gerenciador de dispositivos, quanto o gerenciador do joystick (farei uso do unojoy para a criação de meu projeto) aparecendo o nome que eu escolher para ele?
It is. But that's a long subject. I teach all about encoders in my complete course: www.musiconerd.com/making-music-with-arduino Use the "helloworld" coupon to get 20% off.
Does anyone know if you can find a pro micro with a normal USB instead of a micro or a mino USB? If you can´t, is there any practical way of attaching a micro USB to USB to it? Thanks in advance
Micro usb has very small soldering pads. Normal usb wont fit on the board. You can try to connect a female usb to male micro usb using cables. Or make a pcb for it.
Funciona no windows sim. O arquivo boards está em Arquivos de programas (x86)\Arduino\Hardware\arduino\avr. Mas se vc estiver usando outras placas, esse arquivo pode estar em outro lugar.
@Musico Nerd, i'm tryng this technique to change the name of this board www.bareconductive.com/ , if i change only name nothing happen as you say, but if change VID or PID i always get generic "USB I/O Board"
@@NerdMusician i also ccannot do on windows 10. how can i do. the board. txt is not in java. there is no hardware folder in java. the hardware folder is in same place next to java.

Sounds like it's gonna make things much easier. I'll try that. Thanks!
IT WORKS!! thanks, nerd musician this is the only working video that I could find
You rock, mate! Now I can finally make my own footswitch to use with Amplitube! Thanks! Dankeschön von Deutschland!
This is just awesome !! Cant get my hands down.. Thanks alot..
i cant find the forlders on windows 10, any help?
Wow. Keep em coming!
It's working here again, thanks a lot !
You're welcome!
Fantastic Tutorial!!! Thank you so much!
Great tutorial!! finally native usb-midi! :D
Thanks!
Woohoo! modified it to run 16 potensiometers through the 4051 multiplexer :D
It will be great if you make a tutorial on 'how to make a midi to usb cable for an old musical keyboard'
Good idea!
Show, amigo! Consegui fazer nas placas da Sparkfun e no windows. O arquivo boards está em outro local, mas funcionou. Obrigado!
Belezaa
Olá? Onde está? Não encontrei no Windows
Can you explain me to how to change name arduino mega board? Please....
Nice....exactly what I needed bro.
Awesome!
I like this project
Thanks!
nice tutorials dude !
Thanks!
excellent video friend, I want to add a digital signature for my arduino pro micro do you have a video about that?
Thanks a lot for your Video.
Do you know if it´s possible to have a Pro Micro as a Midi Interface and a Keybard/Mouse simultaniusly?
Great tut man! Bonus points for Bananas! :) Cheers
Thanks!
Fiz a alteração aqui e o PC não reconheceu mais o Arduino. Não encontrou o driver para ele. Agora ele aparece como "Unknow device"... :(
This is amazing!! Also how you can choose the channel for the controller> THANKS
You have to change the midiCh variable!
Obrigado man! Hey, do you think i could make a USB expression pedal this way? Do you know what potentiometer should i use?
It works. Thank you. But the file path in windows is different.
How would you do it on windows, I can't quite figure it out
@@deanmorgan6299 Download the version for windows 7 or later. Because the one for xp passes as an app.
on windows not work because board.txt are a element in use...
vid stands for "vendor ID" and pid for "product ID", and actually you'd have to be a member of USB.org and pay quite a bit to get your own vendor ID. But as long as you don't sell your Arduino project I guess nobody cares what you do.
Good point!

Músico Nerd can you emulate the midi device from other manufacturer this way?
I wonder why only one midi in/out port is available in all arduino midi libraries. What to do if I need two ports?

Wut? How can one be interfering in the other if they are in separate channels? I'll think about it, but no obvious answer right now.
@@NerdMusician what's weirder is that only one potentiometer is causing the interference! The others are totally fine.
But not change in device manager - ports. How to fix this?
HI, I'm trying to do the same with a Teensy but the line usb_product doesn't appear on the code what i'm missing?
VID PID = Vendor ID Product ID (describe the USB device belong to )
plz explain midi usb program change command how to code arduino program
Hi，it is not working like in the video, it keep shows me micro not my setting’s name.
nice. If you connect this device to another computer with no Arduino the device will be still appear as bananas or my midi controller?
Bananas!
@NerdMusician Does this solution still work today? In my case no. The Java folder does not exist in my "Contents" folder. Anyone else in the same situation?
Nope! In my free course I show you the latest solution: go.musiconerd.com/diy-midi-controller-workshop
permanent? what happen if plug another pc/device?
Hi there. Thanks for the vid. I'm doing everything correctly, including repasting the " "s and changing those two numbers and the name does not change in Ableton once I have re-uploaded to the Arduino? I'm using a Micro Pro. Any tips? Thanks :)
Can't tell what could be the problem. That's that thing that "it should just work". :/
Not a big deal. Thanks for the reply :)
Martin Crowley try clearing out old devices and restarting the pc. Namely, go into system devices and remove any references...if any.
Excelente material.

Se você usar a firmware do Arduino Leonardo pro AT32U4 acredito que você possa usar esse mesmo processo sim.
Yeah, great. But is it possible to add an encoder?
It is. But that's a long subject. I teach all about encoders in my complete course: www.musiconerd.com/making-music-with-arduino Use the "helloworld" coupon to get 20% off.
Is it possible to do it with the launchpad mk2?
It's really possible, but it's an advanced project!
ugh i got no programming skills or so xD but i really really want to change the name of it :/
could you help me in some way to change it? please
Músico Nerd is there any way I could do that too I really don't know how to program so maybe you could help me? Please would be awesome!
Hi, I have arduino Leonardo but Leonardo "vid" and "pid" values are different as you. what should i do?
vid and pid are just numbers to make your midi device unique.. as long as it's not the same as another device, you're fine.
Does anyone know if you can find a pro micro with a normal USB instead of a micro or a mino USB? If you can´t, is there any practical way of attaching a micro USB to USB to it?

A shame, its not working anymore

hello. its not working on leonardo. i do as u said
Well, it uses the same microcontroller, so it should be the same. But I tested just on Micro and Pro Micro.
Testei também e não funcionou
Hello is this possible in windows as well?
Yes!
@@NerdMusician i also ccannot do on windows 10. how can i do. the board. txt is not in java. there is no hardware folder in java. the hardware folder is in same place next to java.

I have a Teensy++2.0 but I can't find that usb_product in my board files... How can I do that like u??
BTW, I was searching some keywords in 'teensy→avr→boards.txt' but still didn't find where to change device name. Please help me! (๑°⌓°๑)
I found in:
/Applications/Arduino\ 1.8.3.app/Contents/Java/hardware/teensy/avr/boards.txt However, I never tried changing the name of a Teensy board.
Músico Nerd
The point is
I don't know why my app shows it's name like arduino.app instead of your's named with 1.8.3
Because I renamed mine to Arduino 1.8.3. Doesn't matter the name. What you need to do is: right click and "show package contents".
