This is really helpful, I might make something like this to add some more knobs to my microkorg
What a great video! Thank you for your attention to very clear and concise details, with no extraneous static - a gem!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Planning to adapt this into a eurorack module.
Man this vid is a life saver ,upload the push button part asap ,gotta finish up a midi controller which i have waited through out my entire life ..............................PLEASE NOTES AND VOLTS UPLOAD THE PUSH BUTTON TUTORIAL ASAP
Beautiful tutorial! This is a master class on making electronic controllers and midi instruments. Thank you!
Thank you Daniele!
Man, I can't tell you how valuable ALL of your videos are! I appreciate how orderly your breadboard work is. It makes it much, much, much easier to follow and copy. It soothes the OCD in me. Wanted to say thanks!
Thank you Bruce!
I'm looking fwd to watching this episode and more after this comment!"
wow , man...youre sooo clear and simple to explain , its impossible dont understand, thank you so much and congratulations.
Thanks PAF!
Thanks mate! Fantastic tut, really clear and well explained. Fun project!
Thanks Josh!
You just convinced me to going in arduino diy project. Perfect videos, even a noob as me now can try :)
Thanks Andre! Good luck with your build
Fantastic tutorial Dave ...Very well presented and clear descriptions of the process.....Well done mate :)
Thanks Emu!
Your tutorials are SO on point! Thanks! I took a mini course about arduino and I felt in love with it and I'm willing to buy my first kit in the next few weeks. Your channel is a gold mine to people who are primaly interest in music things and want to give the first steps without being overwhelmed in the beginning by all the electronic and eletric stuff that fill tons of pages in manuals!
I saw some cool ideas about sequencers, but being a totally dummie in arduinos, the videos that I saw didn't covered with such details as yours. I'm just suggesting that would be awesome if you made some project that can sequence samples, or even synth sounds.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks Forest! That means a lot :) I'll make a note of your suggestion. Stay tuned
Thanks Dave, your Arduino - Midi videos are very informative !
+James S. Baker Thanks James! Glad you like them.
The best Arduino/MIDI tut. Thanks!
Absolutely great video - very informative for non-professionals - thank you very much.
You're very welcome!
Well done, thanks so much, I will get started as soon as my part orders delivered, thanks for sharing 🥰👍
Another great video from notesandvolts; love your work man
+Brendan McCloskey Awesome! Thanks Brendan
+Notes and Volts Srsly; very professionally put together, great delivery. Esp the Arduino stuff, check out my builds. I must give the Audiuno a go, looks amazing. Looking forward to many more in-depth Arduino builds.
Best tutorial on CZcams, I'll make a mod and pitch wheel for my old Casio keyboard.
Thank you!
Awesome stuff thanks Dave. I had trouble getting this working, pots working fine, tested them separately. I went to the MIDI output tutorial and in that one you recommend to disconnect the wire coming from the TX pin on the Arduino while uploading the code. I was leaving it connected before and I guess that was the problem because now it works great.
Good job! Glad it worked for you.
Arduino -> Pure Data -> Loop MIDI -> MIDI OX -> You got it ! :d
*edit* The arduino patch that is needed is the "Standard Firmata", you can find it in the core libraries
Thank you for these videos!
great project
YEA ! :D I see the code is full of nice features :D ... waiting for next videos :)
GREAT TUTORIAL !! Thanxs for your info!!
Thanks Daniel!
Amazing, thank you so much, extremely well explained. :)
it is sooooooo well explained it is mindblowing
Thanks :)
Love your tutorials on the builds, got some stuff on the way to make me a diy midi to go along with some of my other projects, but would I be able to make the diy controller Bluetooth?
Thank you very much!!
Thank you very much for theses videos. I have learnt a significant amount and have watched many of your videos. How does one go about adding a switch to this project to enable the ability to swap MIDI channels? (specifically, using an external Arduino like the older model - Dueminalove)
Amazing tutorials!! Thanks!
Glad you like them!
FANTASTIC for a MiniMoog (Arturia) MIDI control... many Thanks
Glad you like it!
@@NotesAndVolts Would it be possible to use the Arduino's USB socket instead of the 5-pole socket to control a Synth through a DAW? many thanks.
This video is perfect!
Is there any way we can send pitch bend message through pots? I am trying to make a control surface using MCU protocol, and it requires pitch bend messages to be sent for controlling faders in the DAW.
Buenas, muy buenos los videos, me vienen bien para un proyecto que estoy haciendo. Hago una consulta, como podría agregar un encoder rotativo? En la misma librería. Ya que lo que necesito es usar, botones, faders y unnoar de encoders
Thanks for this very helpful info. How to make this arduino uno send wirelessly via bluetooth?
8:50 With the software I downloaded from Notes & Volts the line of code you highlight is commented out, gotta delete the "//"
Great video! I have a specific question: is it possible to build a midi contrroller with several voltage outputs? I have an obolete duophonic analog synth and I can't control it using any contoller or computer. The only controller possible is using many hands to turn knobs and smash keys. I've seen some DIY projects but my synth has unusual design and it can't be upgraded using standart midi converters. It needs something customized.
Hello and THANK YOU SO MUCH for such an amazing tutorial!
Everything is easy to understand, even thought English is not my primary language...
I only have one question:
Is it possible to set the MIDI CC to be sent in OMNI mode?
For example.: I am not sure if my Keyboard is on channel 2 or channel 10, so i simply set up the notes to be sent in OMNI mode, so I dont have to worry about choosing the right channel...
I tried to setup the MIDI channel on the code as "0", but it dif not work...
Thanks i advance!
Very good.
Great video thank you, i would like to take example for a flight simulator application. What is the limit of potentiometers and buttons that can be added to an arduino?
thank you so much.
Marco
Thanks so much, very helpful
how did you get the code for this program it dosen't exist in github
Awesome!!! I was able to create a multi-channel 3-D MIDI control using joysticks to control the 3-D pan of live surround sound systems! Thanks a lot for your work, programming isn't my strength!
how did you get the code for this program it dosen't exist in github

5:58 - 6:29 you saved my life:)
Awesome!
Upon finishing the Arduino MIDI project, I have it without the MIDI connector; it's directly connected via the USB cable from the Arduino for the connection. It provides the values that are reflected, but in the DAW Reaper that I use, it doesn't recognize them for assignment, as turning the potentiometer doesn't assign a value.
HI, thanks for this tut, its nice and clear. I have a question, will those things with pots, buttons and multiplexing inputs work the same on Arduino Mega2560. I would love to built my self mix console with cca 64 pots and faders plus some buttons and flash reading back midi cc. I read somewhere that Uno has small ram and it would not work. Do you think that it would work the same way as on Uno in your tutorials. I mean the library, coding etc? Thank you again for the tutorial
Hi. Excelent tutorials. Thanks for the information. Im working on this controller but I have 160 ohm resistors. This could work or I need 220ohms? Thanks. Cheers from Buenos Aires
Hi, could you explain the difference between using 10k and for example 100k potentiometers. I mean what effect will I get using the 100k potentiometer and what 10k. What is the best resistance for potentiometers in midi controllers. Thanks in advance. Good job!
hey man just wanted to say thanx for this. i built a midi controlled wah with this that i can run with my hand cuz i got 2 bum legs and can't work a traditional one...now i just need to figure out how to get all this stuff in a lil box that i can put on my guitar. :D
Thant's awesome KB! Sounds like a really cool project.
still working on it. i had it working set up the way you do it but when i tried to install the pot into an extra enclosure suddenly it didn't work. i used a couple TRS plugs and TRS cable to connect the two...i think my soldering job is just garbage and i need to redo it lol.
Thank you
Great! Thanks!
What about encoders (infinite pots) and motorized faders? Would be great to have such video.
I started (and already freezed) a project couple months ago making something like Mackie MCU (or any other control surface) with Arduino. Their price is very high and it would be great to have such video on this subject as everybody would want to make something similar at home for their home studio.
Thanks again for such useful video.
Try opendeck
Interesting. I've neve had the guts to try and make a MIDI controller. How different would be to make a controller with only faders? Thanks for the video.
The pot works until it is left alone for 2seconds; it stops sending any midi, unitl the unit is reset.. Any ideas?
Do you have a favorite model of rotary and linear potentiometers for midi controllers?
in my case it works perfect until I put the potentiometer number 4, it sends constantly midi signals although I do not want, could someone help me ?.
Hello! I followed your step by step throughout. By the way, very good parabens.
My problem is that in the end I have no signal coming out of midi jack, what can it be? Sorry because I am Brazilian and I do not speak English, but if you can help me, I thank you.
No arduino mega eu tenho 16 saídas analógicas, como faço para conectá-las? É preciso editar o código, ou tenho que usar os multiplexadores?
hey there. love these videos :D
i was wondering if the code would be tweakable to send midi note information for an input on an analogue pin?
i'm looking into building a midi guitar and using a series of switches with resistors between them to make the "frets" and i'm wondering if that would be viable of if i should just go for multiplexers on the digital pins :'D
cheer for the great tutorials :D
Firstly, great video! Extremely helpful and clear. Secondly, has anyone tried using different potentiometer values such as 100k? Are there any significant changes and do you need to adjust the code?
Of course the values will be different, the potentiometer will go from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100k, so you need to divide the analog signal by 70 instead of 7 in order to make it work as the same, otherwise the potentiometer will reach the midi limit value 127 really soon and it will not work for the rest of the potentiometer spin
This is great!!!!. Please do Encoder video midi !!! Cool Notes & Volts
I have two pots set up, PO1 and PO2. I have tried them on different pins, A0 thru A5) but no matter how I connect it, one pot will trigger both control changes at once. no matter which pot I use, or even if I only wire one of them up. Any idea what to look for?
great video! can someone teach me how to increase the amount of potentionometers? i am looking to add a piece of connection to the Arduino that allows me to create a box of at least 60 potentionometer knobs for music software midi controls. finally, would it be best to use higher value knobs, or the value for the one in this video is enough? advises plz, thanks.
this is awesome
Thanks John!
Can you do this with a ProTrinket? And would it be possible to add another MIDI Jack to use as a MIDI THRU to daisychain multiple?
Thanks!
I'm really struggling with the last part of this. When I adjust the pots or push a button the tx LED only lights up if I have the usb connected as well as the MIDI. I am not getting any MIDI signal into my MIDI monitor. I have connected my components exactly as they are in the video and I've tried two different USB-MIDI interfaces. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated!
top! parabéns!
parabens?
Hi,
i wonder if there is a way how increase read of difference between old and new value on pots. So the pot will not react on small changes. the thing is that i have used cca 30 pots on mixconsole but some of them keep sending messages with very small change. I would like to make all of knobs bit less sensitive so when i want to learn midi knob in software it would not get milions of noise signals. I belive that has to do something with sheet controller.cpp but i am not sure witch part is it. Thank you for any idea
so i'm still working on my wah wah thing. i found adding a 10k static resistor between the middle pin to gound and the analog pin keeps the voltage from bouncing around. i have no idea why this works lol. thanx again dave! :D
Thanks for the update Kewl :)
Hello
how can I modify the code, so PO1 will send the message to few channels?
Thank you,
one of the best projects for Arduino!
+Notes and Volts what about 360 degree *clickable* rotary encoders, like on Elektron gear? Any source for them?
Is there a way to *_not_* limit yourself with half a 127 with them, but instead use the offset from previous setting, maybe with MIDI Running message or something?
can you do the same with an arduino duemilanove?
First of all thank you very much for a whole set of interesting videos. How did you get rid of the Analog input noise. Despite I use Potentiometer setup in the same way, my inputs are fluctuating
Thanks Mikkel! Check for loose wires on your board. "Rats nest" wiring is notorious for being touchy.
Hi, i'm getting FF System reset on MIDI Monitor, do you know why could be that? Thanks
Hi, can somebody tell me how to make the led flashing when i turn the potentiometer or press a button. I mean the led turns on when I change the parameter and when i stop turnig the led stops too. It’s easy with buttons - simply digitalWrite. But I don’t get how to do this when it comes to the pots part of the code
Hi Dear. Can you make like behringer x touch mini like controller project. That is with continous - endless potentiometer. sorry for my broken English
Este código también sirve para Arduino MEGA?
Fantastic, would this work on a Tinsee 2?
Great tutorial - anyway to turn this into a midi out on
USB?
can this code be adjusted for an arduino due, and setup for all midi to transfer out the native usb of the due?
Hi, Is there anybody has tried connect this to DAW software via USB MIDI cable? I have connected it by USB MIDI cable. The MIDI cc signal became none continued, CC signal only transmit one data each time I turn the knob. But it worked correctly when I connect it to my Synthsizer. I want to use it to control my able tone live. Is there any suggestion to connect PC which has no MIDI port?
I mentioned USB MIDI cable that is I bought it from China. The cable is USB to MIDI 5pin. I connected the 5 pin MIDI to the Arsuino. The USB to my computer.
Is it possible to change the code to control the volume and mute the reaper?
Are min jack Nassary . Are used usb at place it..
Hello, this mod worked better for me, since it works on any track selected, I have 8 sliders and had assigned them to 1-8, but can’t do anything to tracks 8 and over, I thought it could move like scenes, 1-8, 9-16, 17-24 etc, but couldn’t make it work, any suggestions? Thanks.
exelente
Can I have false readings with arduino supplying low amount of current to handle 8 pots?
nice tutorial
Thanks Balam!
thank you for the tutorial, i would like to build a project like this but with 8 pots, i have an arduino uno like yours, how can i do it?
you have to use a multiplexer, i'm doing the same project myself right now. Notes and Volts has a few vinds on it. go see the ones with 'multiplexer' in the title!
Does the tolerence of the resistors matter in this build?
I tried this and used just two pots, the pots are used at foot expression pedals (10k Linear each) when it's set to just one it works perfectly but when I add the second pot the midi info in OX just keeps scrolling, even when the foot pedal is not even plugged in. Also if it is just set to use one pot and I plug the foot controller into the second pot socket it still recognises something is plugged in and keeps scrolling, what's going on here then?!
Hi, having trouble with this one. Still not transmitting any data. Compiling and uploading fine, Triple checked wiring, midi jack sends data to PC with a regular midi keyboard, but not from the arduino.... A bit stumped...
Can you please do a video with rotary encoder instead of potentiometer?
Is there a way to directly use USB as MIDI instead of the MIDI jack?
hi , can you make a video for joy wheel
Is there any way to change the midi socket to a USB printer socket?
It may be a basic question/answer, but why do we attach the 220Ohm resistor between the transmit on the Arduion and Pin 5 on the MIDI port?
Is this similar to adding the 4.7K between Pin 7 on the 6N138 to help discharge capacitive charges?
This is part of the MIDI hardware interface specification. The signal will drive an optocoupler.
where do you buy that thing for the potentiometers=
Why do you connect two resistors?
Hey! I wonder why do you have to make these signals MIDI CC? Wouldnt it also be recognized by DAWs if you connect the circuit with the Arduino via USB?
Hi, What about banks with pots or buttons in this code.
Exelente !
Thanks Juan!
I can send midi signals with pot1 but I am reading "timing clock", "PC: Trumpet", "PC: FX 7 (echoes)" etc. in MIDI-OX (event section) What is the problem?
can i use more than 40 faders and pots
very good tuturial made pro
Thanks Ben!
