Arduino MIDI Controller

Introduction:

For my final project I created a MIDI controller using an Arduino. I also created a physical controller that is hooked up the Arduino which I can use to play notes, change octaves as well as other MIDI functions. The project will be split into X parts:

1. Physical Controller Four musical note keys (capacitive touch) Two push buttons to go up or go down an octave One potentiometer

2. Arduino Controller This will take it data from the physical controller and convert it to serial data to be sent to MAX.

3. Max Patch This will function as a serial to MIDI Bridge and convert the controller’s serial data to MIDI data to be sent to a DAW.

4. DAW Input MIDI data from the max patch

Materials: Arduino Paperclips Tape Carboard Jumper wires Breadboard Resistors Push buttons Potentiometers
