Setting up the MIDI Molecule
So I’ve connected the UNO R3 into the MIDI element. I’ve downloaded the code, but as I’ve gone to verify it I’ve got problems. This might take a bit longer to sort out than I imagined!
MIDI, Arduino and the Molecule Synth
Arduino control
MIDI
I’ve been thinking about this now and trying to decide how I’d use the MIDI on the molecule synth. It doesn’t really work in the way I’d expected, but nevertheless it’s still quite an interesting feature to play with.
My plan will be to use either Lemur or TouchOSC to control the module over MIDI, but the first choice is what kind of synth to load into the MIDI module?
Mozzi would be an obvious choice, but to start with I think I’ll go with the stuff that’s in the manual.
More Mozzi sounds
Sample sounds from an Arduino with no additional hardware running the Mozzi library.
Messing with Mozzi
I’ve been spending some time with the Mozzi synthesis library for Arduino, and it really is amazing! I had no idea that the arduino could do that kind of synthesis so well. I’m really impressed with it and now I’ve got loads of ideas for how to put it into practice.
Nexus + Arduino, first step …
Getting these two finally connected is just the first step! Loads more to do with this as I think it’s going to form the basis of a number of projects for me.
Some more pictures of the Waveshapper project
I’m hoping to get some more time to finish this off soon.
More Waveshapper progress
More progress. Slow, but worthwhile. I’ll get there in the end. I know it!
Waveshapper progress
Making some progress on the Arduino waveshapper shield kit. I’m pleased with the quality of my soldering though. It’ll take a while to finish off, but it’ll be wo
Wave Shield kit – Here’s the board
So, here’s the board for the wave shield. Not the most complex in the world, but certainly the most complex I’ve attempted. So I’m going to take it really slowly.
My next soldering project is going to be …
And Arduino Wave Shield Kit. Which, I have to say is a little bit of a reach for me, but, I really think that making this and then using it will be a big step forward for me in terms of my Arduino experiments, which I really want to take into a more audio / musical direction. So this is, I think, the best way forward.
I’ll post shots of the board as I make progress on it.
Technology Will Save us: Getting Physical with tech
I went to this talk last night about physical tech. Lots of stuff about Arduinos and prototyping and 3D printing and all of that kind of stuff. I really enjoyed it, especially because the guy giving the talk was so enthusiastic.
The evening did a lot to re-energise me into thinking about making stuff and getting on with some projects, or just having some fun playing with tech.
Yes, it’s time to try my hand at the Arduino again
Yep, it’s time to get back to tinkering with an Arduino again. This time I’m hopeful that I’ll actually get something decent going with it. We’ll see how it goes.
Even more Arduino
At least something is going as planned.
More Arduino
I love LEDs.
