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.
Will do a pretty similiar project like rebuilding the midi twister. Thank you for this video!
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 !
Adorei o video mano!
Quero fazer um midi para controlar a seção de efeitos do traktor
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.
Glad it was helpful!
I love you man, I'm happy to see that kind of information at here, and this is directly encouraged me to try something.. thanks mant many..
Thank you for your clear explanation! I'm looking to convert my acoustic drumkit into an electronic one, to control VSTi's like Superior Drummer 3 :)
Awesome! Keep us posted!
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
Thank you for this video! This is very intresting. I would like to make a 16 channel MIDI mixer with pan pots and solo&mute buttons.
Great stuff, I want to build a few different ones but right more I need something with sliders and drum pads (velocity sensitive if possible)
Thank you for making these videos! Just what ive been searching for
Awesome! Enjoy. :)
Hi, very cool and interesting video. Building electronic music circuits changed my life. I am a retired Union electrician and instrumentation technician now.
My main controller is a Roland FR-3X virtual accordion.
I started building circuits back in the late 1960s. Built PAIA synth/computer. Tried to build a Minimoog at NASA (long story).I was looking for a way to build a very simple midi theremin and stumbled onto your videos. Just sending out one CC value on one channel based on a proximity sensor would work. I like how Merzog modulates a filter with one. Thanks and great work.👍🎶
Excelente vídeo! Meu projeto é reaproveitar as teclas sensitivas + placa com os contatos de um teclado antigo e construir um controlador. Provavelmente vou ter que usar um arduino mega, mas vou tentar primeiro construir o dessa série com o arduino uno só pra testar :)
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
Muito obrigado! É essa intenção! Que todo mundo possa aprender. :)
@@NerdMusician Je ne comprends pas... tu es français ou pas ?? Lol !
Excelente explicación!
Thanks for this, bud. Very inspiring.
Thanks a lot, that's the right way of thinking !
Very clear explanation! I’m looking to make a launchpad esque device with mechanical key switches.
Would love to see that!
I love the way you explain, tqm uwu
this is such an amazing series and channel overall!
Thanks a lot!!
Very detailed. Needed this, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This was very good my man, very good.
Fantástico vídeo!!!
Vou acompanhar a série e construir um controlador pros efeitos da SP-404 Mk2!!!
Boa!
This is some great information 👍🏻
Great video and thanks for doing this. I would like to build a drumpad (FSR) controller with buttons and knobs. I know there are some out there already but would love to build my own with what I need.
FSR will give you after touch too, but if it's for drums you could use piezos too, which are cheaper and a little easier to use.

Thank you so much.
Sos un crack!!! Saludos desde Argentina.
Gracias!
I love your enthusiasm. You make a good educator.
Thanks!
Great video!
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
Awesome!
thanks for the info
Excelente Video! Mi proyecto es un MIDI Footswich para usar con BIAS FX 2
Great explanation👍🏻
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.
I'd like build my own midi foot controller. Hope to learn from your videos..
Great video👍🏼
Awesome :)
I want to build a MIDI filter to change CC commands to PC commands, but I want to learn to make a controller also. I am waiting for my Leonardo to come this week! great video btw.
good video, thanks
could you make a video about the topic "analog effect units for electric guitars"?
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
Nice thanks
Thanks for the info, I am going to build a controller for my DAW. I am from England but now permanently live in Brazil (Your accent sounds Brazilian).
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?
great video. I would love to see implementation with Max for Live.
Great video. Id like to know how to build a motor fader bank with 8 faders and 8 rotary encoders for DAW control.
Motorized fader and encoders are way more complex. I teach how to use encoders and could soon and a motorized fader class in the complete course. nerdmusician.teachable.com/p/making-music-with-arduino
I would like to build a circuit with 88 LEDs (same as the amount of keys on a piano) driven through daisy chained serial to parallel shift registers, and I would like to send midi data to the arduino and hopefully light up LEDs that mirror which notes are being played on the midi file, I just have no idea what software to use to send the midi data over. great video btw, very welcoming to both new people and experienced people!
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).
A glide strip to use to slide notes (played on a separate midi keyboard) up/down
Very nice, project! Thanks for share with us! Have one more brazilian subscribed!
Dale!!
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?
hello and thanks for your video. I just need to build a WIRELESS controller with two buttons one to launch effects and one to pause (for example to use with abelton live or Millumin or with Qlab…) just to launc effects from the stage as we are performing a thether piece…thanks for your answer and for your informations
Best regards
Working on designing an expandable SSL-style controller for Propellerhead Reason DAW. Problem I am running into is that I need to make the project expandable, from like 8 to maybe 32 channels, or more. What I am not sure about is how to link all boards together to a single MIDI bus. Thanks for making this video!
You need to use multiplexers, they multiply the number of inputs. Something I teach in the complete course. nerdmusician.teachable.com/p/making-music-with-arduino
This video is great for beginners, hope you get more views!
Thanks! Me too... hahah
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.
I think I'd like to start with a small controller of 2 to 3 banks of 8 mappable knobs. Most software instruments and devices these days have 8 customizable macros in them, so being able to just jump in on those 8 micros for a variety of things right away would be a big help
I want to take a cue from this video of yours to build a midi controller to use for my flight simulator but first I would like to know what are the input limits that I can create ie how many potentiometers, how many buttons.
Thank you so much

e aí cara,..... estou estudando pra construir um footcontroller pra usar com o pluguin de guitarra NEURAL DSP,..... I hope to get this done!!!!
I need to build a foot controller for my guitar. So that I can toggle on/off pedals and use potentiometers to adjust individual parameters of each effects pedal.
I'm not going to say that I would like to build it, because I definitely will. I'm going to build a set of foot pedals that control variable resistors, or pots, and foot switches that will toggle between the CCs the pedals are sending out with one switch per pedal. It will have to have some sort of accompanying software either just on board or on a separate computer to choose which CCs each button switches between. I figured out a way to use VST effects on guitar with very little latency so I thought I might assign some contollers to the parameters, but stopping playing every time I want to turn a knob or move a slider is cumbersome, and my feet are free. I figure 4x2 pedals with the button switches on each side next to each one will be about the biggest that will still be practical. This will be my my first electronics and software project ever and to be honest I'm more than a little intimidated, but I think it might be my best option right now so I kinda gotta do it anyway.
I want to build midi controllers to match certain Reason Rack effects. to Start with the Echo delay that comes with Reason 12
Uma ideia genial, principalmente em tempos de dólar nas alturas. Gostaria de criar um em que eu pudesse controlar daw e plugins, e outro em que eu pudesse usar com alguns instrumentos virtuais
Agora é a saída! Com certeza você pode fazer esses daí!
I am looking for a good explanation so that I can build a midi controller for the sylenth VST synthesizer myself. For this I want to use a Robotdyn mega xpro 2560. The midi controller is modularly built with a vintage look. The first modules I want to build are the midi controllers for the 4 oscillators. In total there will be 14 modules.
your great teacher brother
Thankss!
I am wanting to build one for a performance as part of my TAFE college Diploma in Music Industry (Electronic Music Production)
I bought the midi fighter 3d and need to send lower octaves than is supported by default, so still need to use an arduino to change the midi notes 😛
Hey man, I have a question, how do you map controllers for example if i wanted to make an instrument that has a pitch bend function. On the DAW i want to insert samples of my instrument
Not sure im going to learn all this Arduino coding stuff - but it would be pretty awesome to have a custom controller for some of my favorite NI plugins - or maybe for a project that i build in Reaktor..! Although with Reaktor, it might be easier to find a nice midi controller that has a layout that is suitable for the type of Reaktor project that i want to create, and then design the Reaktor project to match the design of this midi controller.
hey I'm a bit looking for the proverbial needle here, but how would I go about getting a handheld controller for a digitech whammy pedal ? (just a 0 to 127 handherld midi thing)
I'm Brazillian and this is fantastic. Não acredito que este canal existe.
ele é br tbm
Hi, what do i need to purchase get to use a midi daw drum sequencer and turn the signals into 5v trigger signals for analog drums?
I have a question. The Novation Nocturn is a fantastic midi controller. It only functions with a driver and automap which are not supported in the latest OS Catalina. Its seems to me that a nice project would be to convert this unit into a ‘dump’ midi controller using arduino. Is there any way of doing this? Thank you!
I want to build one that hooks up to my line 6 HX stomp basic controls
This is indeed one of the most underrated channels...
Hope we get more subs then! :D
Is it possible to make a midi controller with ribbon controls , and pitch bend , mod wheel, and a bunch of CC knobs , CV gates and work with a 73 poly agtertouch? Can you use many arduino systems together ?
I recently bought and arduino mega, i want to make at first octopad(digital drums) but after this i want to make a midi keyboard from my old synthesizer, but after this all, i wan't to buy from aliexpress kit of one hundred piezoelements,buy used the cheapest piano that i can found and made digital piano,using all this
I want to built a midi mixer for ableton.
What I've thought is That for the mixer potentiometers, I would like to to have rotary encoders with leds on the side for indicating the level. So any saved project you open, automatically the encoder shows you the position of the potentiometer in the daw
This is like motorized potentiometer but more simple and cheaper
I have a Gemini PMX-60, that I would like to turn into a midi controller, have oled displays and buttons and others to add to it, what board should I use,
Bro, You should be my School teacher. My whole CSE grad didn't have this. I wasted my money
I wish I had a use for a light, temperature or humidity sensor in the controller I want to build. They'd be fun to experiment with, but not very practical for onstage playing.
I’ve got old, broken, 96 keys, analog organs. I’d like to use keyboard from broken organs to build 8 octave, simple MIDI keyboard for GarageBand. I hope this course will explain how to deal with such project.
Is there a course in your website specifically for the led strips?, where you tell how to create the led strips connection (e.g. physical and w/ software) to the keyboard? what kind of wirings needed? I want to build a led visualizer for my keyboard piano (there’s 2 ways for that after I’ve researched. 1) is using raspberry pi (which can be expensive for all the connections/wirings needed), and 2) is the arduino
But, I’m not techy, and need a step-by-step on how to do this led visualizer
I already have how to use normal leds, and how to use digital led strips is my next topic I'll add to the course!
Heya, does the course only work with midi USB or does it also show how to build a controller with 5 pin midi?
I would like to build a control surface with the same controls as a subtractive synth in my DAW - using faders, buttons and rotary encoders
That would be awesome! But Encoders require some extra coding!
how to make a midi keyboard using arduno nano for casio sa78 keyboard please make a video
i wanna build a Midi Mixer 9 tracks total ( 8 tracks + 1 Master Track ) .. THe Tracks should have a on/off switch , a faders and a nomb ( if possible 2) .. Thank You so much for the inspiration , I hope i would get help when confused🤭😃❤✨
First comment here. Great video! I want to build a controller with just a lot of knobs. A have a MIDI-keyboard and a pad controller. The only thing I miss - a lot of rotary knobs to feel the magic of hardware synths with virtual ones. I hope I'll find a way to achieve this.
I'll post the next classes soon, and they might help you out.
Hi ,I need to make a 32 note midi controller for my son's organ pedals .Thanks
You'll need to use Multiplexers! Check my course, I teach that there. Link in the description.
I want to build a 16 track midi controller with jog wheel, solo, mute, play , stop and rewind buttons. is it possible?
Question: Would an incremental rotary encoder or absolute rotary encoder be better for a midi controller? Or does it just depend on it's function? I'm struggling to understand the differences and how they would effect on what I'd use either one for.
It depends on what you want. Encoders are good if you want to use one knob for multiple things, because you can just update their value and update an led ring. But they are trickier to use and you can't use as much in an Arduino.
Normal pots are better to play because you know their physical position, but it's a matter of taste. Also, easier to use and you can hook up a ton of them using multiplexers.
Hey there. This is a great min series. Have you got any good websites to peruse for encoders and faders?
In my course, the Making Music with Arduino, I teach exaclty how to use them.
Mine is just using a Piezo switch to convert to MIDI and connect it to my iPad. I will eventuall want to add up to 10 switches. Each programable to produce its' own sound/note.
Cool!
Hello, Question .
Will this work if i have a 3.3v io logic pro micro board or will it require a 5v one
Hey, crazy question. I have Yamaha Steinberg N8 DAW mixer that is bust, but also relies on FW connection (not laptop frindly thunderbolt or usb), so my question is, would I be able to recreate the device with arduino circuits? keep in mind the N8 has preamps and individual channels Id like to keep individual in my DAW
Looking back into the matter after doing bunch of other stuff in between.
Thank you so much for explaining everything except how to make a midi controller
I would like to know what kind of Arduino I can use to trigger presets on an Alesis Q2? What I used to do on an RFX midi buddy pedal is press the switches 0-9 and it would trigger presets numbered 000-009. Then there was another switch that allowed me to bank 10-19 and so forth! Up to 128 presets.
An Arduino Pro Micro. But, start here to understand the basics: go.musiconerd.com/diy-midi-controller-workshop
I want to build the full 88 keys piano! With velocity and foot pedals.
I want to build a controller for my boss gt-1000 to have real knobs (like real pedals) to tweak my settings.
Hey thank you ! I wanna build a Synth!
I hope I can get started on making videos building synths soon!
