Arduino midi controller how to#
How to build a MIDI ribbon controller with Arduino by Giuseppe Di Cillo – is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribuzione – Non commerciale – Condividi allo stesso modo 3.0 Unported License.
This instrument, which was used by the great Peter Christopherson in his last performances, it is also dual touch and includes a great synthesizer.
Arduino midi controller software#
I mapped, in the Kontakt software, these Control Change codes to the “Tuning” and “Volume”of the instrument Melodeon but of course you can use any parameter of any software that will enable a MIDI mapping, you can also use different control change.įor those who want something more professional I advice on the Eowave Persephone. If you continue to press, the finger position and pressure data is read, and such data is sent as MIDI Control Change 20 and 21. So in the first 5 seconds you press your finger right on the ribbon giving a pressure from 0 to the maximum that you want to use. The “loop”routine checks if the position sensor is pressed and eventually is sent the note via midi.
The setup routine runs for the first 5 seconds, and calibrates the minimum and maximum values of the two sensors. This is the Arduino sketch I wrote and is based upon the MIDILIBRARY that must be installed to compile. To facilitate the connection I used a small stripboard configured in this manner. I have also connected to Arduino a DIN5 MIDI connector since all data is sent to the computer via MIDI connector and not via USB cable. First the pressure sensor and then the position sensor. Both sensors are in the shape of a ribbon (50 cm the Spectra Symbol sensor, 60 for the Interlink one).įirst I attached the sensors on a wooden shelf. The Interlink sensor has only two connectors but it also functions as a variable resistance, from a couple of megahom to 0, depending on the pressure. The Spectra Symbol’s sensor has 3 connectors like a potentiometer and works exactly the same way by changing its resistance (from 10 to 0 Khom) depending on the position of the finger.
When you press the finger on the ribbon the position determines the pitch of the note to play, then holding your finger shifting laterally varies the “tuning” of the selected instrument in Kontakt, resulting as a sort of pitch bending. Upon the pressure applied on the ribbon changes the volume of the instrument. In this post I describe the first version of my controller that I programmed to operate in conjunction with the vst plugin Kontakt.
– Interlink Ribbon pressure sensor – 600mmĪs you can see just a few components are necessary and the whole cost is around 70 bucks. NOTE: I am not an electronics expert so if you decide to implement this project I am not responsible for any damage to computers, instruments, houses, people and animals that may arise. I decided to do a MIDI ribbon controller using Arduino. I think that this type of controller fits very well to control virtual instruments such as strings and horns, as it is characterized by a position and pressure sensitive ribbon, so you can control in a very intuitive way thenotes pitch and velocity. One type of controller that interests me most is the ribbon controller because I wanna try to emulate with the software plugins what can be done with instruments such as the Ondes Martenot. There are many professional MIDI controller out there: keyboards, drum pads, mixer, pedals, etc.
