TTS VS Arduino-AppleMIDI-Library

Ive tried the same code which i use for the arduino but changed the gpio pin to 0(D3) on the node mcu. The code does get uploaded but didnt receive any audio output. What do I need to change in order for it to work. Here is the link to the library which does mention it supports esp8266. Here is the example code.

The link to the github page.

There is a really crappy-sounding text to speech library for arduino. I think it's a pretty good feat that the programmer was able to get this to run on an arduino at all, but it sounds even worse than the 80's text-to-speech chips.

There are also pure software TTS solutions available such as this library that claim to run on a plain Arduino Uno without much external hardware other than perhaps some form of amplifier. I have not used this library myself but it looks interesting.

I'll post the whole thing in a separate message. I've already modified it a little, because there seems to be a quirk in the rtpMIDI implementation that seems to not send a second MIDI message if two of the same type are sent in sequence in the program. Even a few milliseconds delay between them seems to fix it. Here's the github link to the original.

Changing the order of libraries didn't change anything. BUT with that in mind, I tried disabling one of the libraries I wasn't using at the moment: AppleMIDI. The flashing mostly stopped. It flashed for a few times in the beginning, and then stopped almost completely.

Just a thought, in a future build you could go totally wireless (theoretically) if you use: - an ESP8266 or ESP32 with wireless MIDI and - MIDI mixer on Windows.

Just FYI, network MIDI is a thing and you may want to look into it if you haven't before.

As a bonus, the controller I'm using (ESP-01) also has Wi-Fi, so I added on the AppleMIDI library for receiving wireless MIDI (and sending, too, if I so choose). As a final touch I added VirtuinoCM to switch between 3 modes: - MIDI-response - some generic animations - manual colour control.

This is the sketch that worked for me pretty much out of the box. Mac OS has built-in support for Wi-Fi MIDI, but in Windows you'll need to install rtpMIDI. Once the Arduino sketch is loaded and running, rtpMIDI is installed, and both the computer and ESP32 are connected to the same network, the ESP32 should show up in the rtpMIDI control panel.
