  • Just got an Arduino kit, what are some simple projects that would help me learn coding and be useful with my modular synthesizers?

    I was in a similar boat to you, though I have a lot of experience programming outside of the arduino/midi controller context. I was pretty happy to just use https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface as a library to handle connecting an arduino with a pot to my PC as a midi controller. The docs and examples the codebase has were very useful.

    I've been working on this beasty project together with a friend. We did some liveshows back then and decided that we needed some more control gear. But not just a laptop focusing launchpad, we wanted to forget there was even a laptop (or other hardware) attached to this controller, so that all our attention and focus would be on the music and the crowd, and above all: we wanted something that would instantly announce your presence on stage.

  • CC midi controller with approx 37 knobs!?

    I used this library with an Arduino and several multiplexers. It worked very well and was easy to use. https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface
  • teensy 4.0. I think I have a debounce issue. I don't know how to add it to my code.

    Should be fixed in https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface/commit/eb7a468a0a73584b93be16d978404b25401ce66f, you can increase the SELECT_LINE_DELAY constant if necessary.

    Using Control_Surface for midi usb controller, with matrix. Teensy 2.0 is using the same code and works great. I noticed that if I increase the CPU speed on the 4.0, I get double key presses of the same column. Using lowest speed, 24MHz, seemed to work. But I still have some ghost key presses on one column. Since I have no problems with my 2.0 that is at 12MHz, I think its due to CPU speed.

    The PCB was an entirely new endeavour for me, but it was essential in making the project footprint as small as possible. Never done any kind of electronics design outside of hobbyist arduino stuff and the initial prototype. I used [KiCAD 6] to design the PCB. KiCAD might be the single greatest GUI-based open-source software I have ever used, its a shame FreeCAD is so far behind it in terms of stability. It is also free and open source. I went with a simple 2 layer design with all through-hole components to keep things as simple as possible so people didnt have to mess around with heat guns or toaster ovens to solder the board. It turned out great. I also elected to use a teensy to do the heavy lifting. Sticking to an arduino platform means its a lot easier for people to contribute to the firmware. It also meant I could use the greatest arduino library ever written, Control Surface. Control surface is what makes it so easy to write the midi logic for the firmware. It is the backbone of the firmware and really is incredible.

    You could use the https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface library for the MIDI controller code, and https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface-Motor-Fader for driving the motorized faders.
