  • Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've ever built?
    33 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Nov 2022
    The Arduino MIDI Library [1]. Back in 2009, I learned C++ to build it and control my guitar effects pedals with custom electronics as part of my engineering degree.

    Your project can be broken up into a number of subprojects. For keyscanning you don't need additional hardware, just the pins from the ribbon cables going to the arduino's digital pins and ground. Since the keys are just switches (two per key, the time difference between the two switches closing giving the source of velocity), you could start with some examples from the Arduino MIDI library (https://github.com/FortySevenEffects/arduino_midi_library). To test MIDI sending you don't even need to start from the keybed just yet, and if you do, you can start with a single key. Once you've got that part figured out end to end (key press/release generates note on/off events) you can work on iterating through the matrix, CC controls etc. MIDI out can be done in different ways. With a 5 pin DIN plug you'd just need two 220 ohm resistors.
  • What frequency should a timer interrupt be to receive MIDI messages?
    2 projects | /r/arduino | 8 Oct 2022
    On an Arduino compatible platform the configuration of the baud rate at the bare metal layer is taken care of by the library when you call its begin() method. Looking at the example code included with the library it appears that there are no timer interrupts or anything like that required of you in order to use it. Another thing that jumps out is that the call to read() returns a non-zero value if anything has been received that you should use to predicate whether any further attention needs to be spent on it by your code. You may know this but it wasn't apparent from the loop() { MIDI.read\`() }` example that you gave above.

    The MIDI protocol specifies that data is sent at 31250 baud over UART. Standard MIDI messages can be up to three bytes at a time, sometimes two, or one. The Arduino MIDI library's "read()" function, which captures MIDI messages is suggested to have the lowest latency possible, as suggested at the bottom of this page. Here's the example from that page to show how the read() function works:

  • Best Arduino model for USB MIDI instrument?

    I haven't used it yet but there is this. They give more details so specifics about board support may be there too. It looks nice at first glance
  • MIDI-controlled LED strip on keyboard (WS2812B controlled by ESP8266)
    3 projects | /r/somethingimade | 30 Sep 2021
    It's the exact circuit on Wikipedia connected to a serial input on your microcontroller, read by the Arduino MIDI library, and then translated to LED using the FastLED library. MIDI pitches go from 0-127 - but even a full-size keyboard uses a max of 88 keys (the one shown in the post is 61-key), so you'll have extras.
