Thank you. I have been wanting to do this for about 20 years now and I finally decided to get off my butt and do it. This video helped me so much. I want to check out your course also. I have something I want to design for myself and this video just gave me life... Thank you again.
I needed this 15 years ago too late for me now, I quitted guitar , i still play but not to improve anymore
Check out an arduino course from Paul McWhorter and learn the basics brother. It's free and he's the best teacher on the platform.
@@carlodevivomusicontent2138how can you play and not improve? If it's anything worth doing, it's worth doing right. A guitar has more than the first 3 frets.
Stumbled across this video. It's quite possible you've changed my life! thanks dude
Thank you. I enrolled in the music, and the programming courses - taking advantage of the special for the second course.
Woah !! Your courses are way beyond my expense limit. ;)
Literally just found your channel. Wow I can’t wait to work and connect with you and learn from you.
Thank god that finally i found you understand more and i will learn from this man love your skill
Gustavo, I signed up for your Making Music With Arduino course a couple of years ago and that was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made! Thank you for the content you shared and for your teaching style that made it interesting. I also just signed up for your KiCAD class so I’m really excited to get started on that! I highly recommend your program to anyone remotely interested in MIDI controllers and Arduino. Sure, anyone can go out and buy a commercial MIDI controller but it is SO MUCH MORE fun and fulfilling to build it yourself so you can fully understand how it all works. Thanks again for amazing services you offer!
Thank you so much, Ken!
Thanks to you I understood how easy it is to build your own MIDI devices and after a year I really can do almost anything I want with my devices and I spend hours designing new ones!!! Really thanks man!! You're very talented 💜
Thank you much for the words! Glad it helped! :)
@@NerdMusician 🙏
Thanks for the great overview - there was a whole bunch of useful tips in there!
Glad you enjoyed it!
people like you are the reason why i think internet can still be a good place, thanks for all of your effort man! it's deeply inspiring
Thanksss
Meu velho, aqui eu encontrei arte e tecnologia em completa harmonia. Belo trabalho
currently learning electronics, and wanting to combine that knowledge with music. your content is superb!! salute!!!
Have fun!
wow!!! i alwasy had so much ideas for my workflow
I'm liking suscribing bookmarking and tattooing this video's url on my hand ! But seriously, awesome content.
Hahahah awesome!
Thank you man!
Obrigado amigo!!😁
I'm taking your MIDI programming course, and it's helped me so much! I'm about to set up the full protype for my custom design in the next few days then on to making the permanent board. Thank you so much Gustavo! The way you explain things is easy for me to follow and understand.
Glad I could help!
meu irmãao seu conhecimento me salva muitos dinheiros com controladores caros kkkkk muito obrigado!!!!
I wanted to let you know that thanks to you I started to build my own controllers, aand for me the hardest part is to actually build the enclosure and finding nice knobs haha
Glad I could help! Making the enclosures was also tricky to me. But search for my "parametric enclosure" videos on my channel!
thanks man!
Love it!
So glad!
Thank you
O sotaque brazuka nunca vai embora né rsrs
This is exactly what ive been looking for, most people would just be like "so i did this then this and i just coded it" and call it a tutorial. thank you for being honest, also im not done with the video but would the mega 2560 r3 work?
Ainda bem que entendo inglês haha, Obrigado Gustavo

Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Thank you for this intense overview and your shared project. This is great work an not a single error during build using a Arduino Micro and the libs from your zip. Potis working smooth as hell. Only thing I observed in the midi monitor, the Poti stops at 126 but I can’t find the issue in the code. Can you suggest me a solution?
Hi! Currently using your code to convert a set of hammond organ pedals into a midi foot controller. I also want to add buttons for program change and midi CC. The pedal contacts are normally closed, which i can work with by changing the state from LOW to HIGH in the B_BUTTONS tab, but I'd like to be able to use BOTH the NO and NC switches. I have no coding experience, so would it be possible to change the code so that there's both B_BUTTONS_NC and B_BUTTONS_NO?
Hi, thank you for this video it was very helpful. Can I asked can encoders be used without interrupts? And when using's buttons for toggle, say for mute for example, I have to click it twice each time to change its state any idea why? Once again thanks for the video and files and your hard work!
Hehey I am a student of your MMwA course, and am about to absorb this great new content. One question though - how hard would it be do you think to create an effects box? Something like an NTS-1 or Monotron? In other words, something that would affect the sound before it got to your DAW? Any thoughts on this? Cheers bro
Dang this video is sending me deep down some rabbit holes full of great things.
here before this channel blows up to 1M. gonna be honest man i would die for a controller that is just like the DIva interface but i might not be able to try my hand at building for a while. i did learn to build custom mechanical keyboards over covid, so maybe that was a good introduction to this world. would be so insane to own one of your creations one day if you decided to sell them. Maybe link up with a few artists with big insta's or tiktoks and send them out some gear to promo to spread the word of what you're doing here. maybe Andrew Huang on youtube would be interested? amazing work.
You can use something like fritzing or virtual breadboard to prototype with. You don't have to invest money to learn how to build circuits.
@[0.11]. THANK YOU! YES ! FINALLLY. !!! THE DUDE!!
Precisando fazer um controlador kkkk já uso muito o teclado Midi mas sinto falta de fazer automações orgânicas kkkk
Vou ver se consigo fazer com arduíno controlador que use potenciômetros para controlar filtros e racks de sfx
Massa!
\o
Will the course teach us how ro create BLUETOOTH devices? can't see any info about this
What about building the box¿ ie. What materials? Where to get housings, knobs, faders? Sliders... etc
you can change that button for another type if so. which one do you recommend?
Cats on Synths in Space t shirt lol nice
Always a great combination.
Hairless midi doesn’t work with Mac OS Monterey so is there another free software serial to midi bridge you know of that I would be able to use? Thank you
I use serato dj. I want a add on controler to add a few more fictions. I'm learning fast but still wondering how to use this and my dj controller at the same time. Any help is greatly aprciated
Hello. Thank you for this great videos. I really don't know much about this so your videos are great intro to this Arduino/midi/... world.
Sorry, maybe a stupid question, I didn't get. Is it in the end possible make plug & play midi device with Arduino Uno?
Thank You :)
I have a question, hopefully you can answer. I want to build a rotary controller for the RM1X. It has 16 channels, every channel has 16 parameters I
d like to map. The idea I have in my head is a controller with 32 encoders on the front, and I can skip up and down the channel in twos, so channel 1 + 2, then 3 + 4, etc. Will your course teach me how to make such a device?
Thanks for your time.
Hey man, thank you very much for your videos, it's helped a lot! I've got a question for you: can you use a micro comtroller with a micro usb port to make a midi device (using a micro usb cable), will it send MIDI too? Like the teensy 3.5 for example. Thanks!
@Nerd Musician Just to let you know that in you add on CZcams the "button to click" does not appear...
Hello Nerd Musician. Would be so kind to show an example of building a midi controller with LSD display and encoder ?
I would like to use your code to build one that have an encoder to change the CC value for each pot.
I am a bit lost. Can your code make it ?
Thanks.
Hello! I'm using Arduino uno and MacOs Monterey, but the hairless midi doesn't work. Do you have any other option?
I'm looking for a board that has at least 26 digital pins, that is midi compatible annnnd mountable on its own. Am I missing something? 😅🤔 Suggestions?
Sometimes when I power up pro micro, connect it to laptop I can’t detect the midi data being sent.
Is there an order of operations required to consistently get pro micro to successfully send data? Do I need to reset midi devices via my DAW?
Manually reset pro micro? (but power cycling it should already do that?)
Right now the quick fix seems to be reflashing the pro micro with my midi sketch, which isn’t practical in the long run.
Great upload video! 👍 stay connected! 😍Like 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
hi can you plz help, i am trying to make one, my hairless midi is not capturing any signals from uno r3, i debugged it works fine but after uploading for the atmega 328p it does not perform anything!
vc fez unicamp?
é possível colocar uma saída MIDI de 5 pinos ao invés do micro USB para enviar o sinal até um sintetizador comercial? Vai funcionar?
é sim, ensino isso no curso completo.
56:17 making a note for myself: rubber pads
I want to build a class compliant compliant arduino maschine Frankenstein hahaha
So I'm trying to connect more pots and i got 4 hooked up. However the ones connected to A2 and A3 are outputting the same signal as A0. A0 displays cc: 0 in debug and A1 displays cc: 1 but A2 and A3 display cc: 0
Solution: Line 338 you gotta add them in
is there an arduino board that is very small and can be powered by an iphone lightning port? that way i could have it on a keychain and use with my iphone while on the go?
Yes, the Arduino Pro Micro, the same I use in most of my controllers.
Man. Santa Claus is REAL!
Ola Gustavo, tô querendo fazer seu curso, acha que eu poderia usar um pi pico pra seguir ele?
Pior que não, só Arduino, no momento!
hm i have a question if anyone can help me please do, when i try to upload it says midi not identifyed i have everything installed, it also works in debug mode. it just doesnt work when i try with the actual thing. im using a mega 2560 r3. so yeah im confused please help. or should i just restart the code and try again.
I don't think so. You have to use an Arduino with atmega32u4 processor, like Leonardo or Pro Micro
@@stevevellinga8347 nah you dont i fixed it a simple bug
more like a mistake from me 😅
e os vídeos em português, parou?
15:29 : by the look of the soldering, all of the chinese clones i had in my hands were better in quality of construction than arduinos (i nerver tested the values of the components but if the code works... and i already received a not working arduino, which never happened to me with the chinese clones)
A young Wagner Moura for sure!!
i like you lol :)
What do you call the controller in your nose?
nice shirt
How about going the other direction. Delivering electrical shocks to guitar players.. Humans have a tough time with complex rhythms whereas MIDI can play complex rhythms perfectly. I want to deliver a metronome with beat 1 indicator, and then rhythmic pulses for guitar solos. Can this be done?
might be easier to just have one of those vibrating metronome watches....
@@komizutama I need the rhythm more than the beat.
Are you Brazilian?
@[40:30] ….annnnd There it is. :(

Cê sabe como esse cara fez isso?
Nossa eu tbm queria saber
Man, I'd love to buy your course, but it's just too much money for a hobby.
hello waiters
No offense but send people to a beginner course first. If i was a noob i wouldnt understand a thing you just said. Ive never heard of a paid arduino course either unless it's part of a first year ee course.
There was no content. I dont know if it's idiocy or intentional obfuscation. No offense.
