Does this work on a pico without having to buy MiGiC?

Do you have any plans on turning this project into a product?

I need this!

Amazing! But what about latency? How much is it ?

Hello sir will you make this project open source?

I suppose chords could be possible.. have to process the combination of notes.

This project is amazing! Can it detect more than one string at the time?

Hi! Really like your Project! I am planning on doing a compilation video of the coolest Raspberry Pi Pico based projects out there. Am I allowed to showcase your project and use some footage from this video? Of cause I would give credit to your video.

Impressing ! Are there schematics available so that anyone can build this monophonic guitar to midi ? And what about a polyphonic one ?

So sort of the opposite of a keytar, one might say? 😅 Nicely done!

Hi, awesome project. Do you think pico software will ever be available to the public? Also have you plans to make a linux version of migic? Thank you!

Hi, I'm curious if this supports sending midi pitch bend signals based on the exact pitch of the notes played, or if this is limited to 12 tone equal temperament. So for instance, if you bend, can you get "in-between" notes, assuming the midi instrument supports pitch bends? I have a microtonal guitar, and I'm curious if that would work with this, or if it would be quantized to 12.

This is really really awesome!! 🎉 Question here: how would the midi converter react to multiple notes playing simultaneously? Say I strum a G chord. Do you think it will function accurately?

Would it be possible to reuse this for other string based instruments that look like guitars but not exactly the same ? We have some local guitar variants in Thailand called Phin

Are you fucking kidding me?!? Do you know how long I’ve wanted this?!? And in an RPi omg. Wow.

Do you think this will work for microphone input on drumset?

This is incredible work. Thank you

Now make a divided pickup so you can do 6 in parallel and you are on your way to VG8 tech

Let us know when this is available, I would definitely buy it!

Sooooo how do I upload the code to the pico? Only did that before with arduinos and its IDE

Sick

Cool project!

Wow. KZbin give me a recommendatin of this video. There is interesting that I'm developing a similar program right now. And I use Rust too)! I make a GUI and the program grabs keyboard events from all applications (via winapi \ X11). Demo kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH2Ug2xofN-UnNk

great, do you have velocity control?

Also, any plans for Migic on IOS? MIDI guitar holds that space and do polyphony, but they are way more expensive.

Oh man, I got so excited by this.. bought a pico, started wiring it all up and then realised that it's not the whole code... gutted! Any updates? I'm super keen to have a go at making one. You'll always have an audience for buying these, but for us DIYers, sharing that full code wold make you a superstar. Even if you make it for real and make your money first. Otherwise, any other people on here keen to have a crack at making something similar and sharing their code?

Amazing - well done!

Is there any way to build pressure sensitive pads or mpe type controllers?

Awesome project! For polyphony I suggest to use an ESP32 with a hexaphonic pickup (e.g. Roland GK3 Internal Pickup Kit) instead of a Raspberry Pi Pico (not enough ADC channels). With the ESP32 you can use FortySevenEffects/arduino_midi_library to implement MIDI-over-USB/-Bluetooth/-WiFi and a webserver serving ADC/GPIO configuration like number of strings and additional MIDI controls like volume/tone/tremolo/vibrato/...-potentiometers (which are missing on my Fishman TriplePlay Connect) and even a decimal pad or rotary encoder to select instrument banks.

I have a question, can the pico be used as a MIDI host? I would like to try it as a MIDI controler over USB to change presets in my Zoom 70CDR.

Amazing. Is it polyphonic too?

Krass ... not bad not bad ... nice

May I ask what keyboard do you use? It looks awesome!

Great

Awesome Philip, Only one KZbin video? you need to do more. I want to build the USB interface, other than your schematic shown in the video is there any other hardware needed? Are you using the pico's usb port to the Mac or other USB interface, I could not tell from the video? Also If I purchase MiGiC will that come with libMiGiC? In order to build the USB interface, without MiGiC Synth, do I need libMiGiC? Thanks so much.

amazing project It is possible to replace mcp6002 by module Max9814 ?

So you said you aren't posting the libMiGiC code.. That means no one without your coding experience can make this. Do you plan to sell the code, or a pre-programmed Pico??

Is the circuit with the opamp necessary? Or could you theoretically also use a regular guitar amp on clean with a signal out to the Pico? I could build the circuit if needed, but if the result is the same, I already have a guitar amp with a output that I use to record with.

Can you play 6 notes simultaneously? Or I need one of each per string?

Why would anybody downvote this?!

Wow! You are a Genius ! Just incredible ! Thanks for great video!

Firstly, I wanted to applaud the achievement. Nice one! Regarding polyphony, I wanted to draw your attention to a technique I saw in a 'look mum no computer' post. While he was just using the pickup of a bass to drive a pitch to midi converter, the project that had inspired him had used 4 piezo speakers, cut with scissors, a strip of the diaphragm wedged between the string and the bridge - and it worked!!! That at least could provide a 'hexaphonic' input, do you think a lone pico and six of the adc channels could provide usable results? I was thinking, you have another processor, you could customise the each adc channel to a range of pitches relevant to the string, the sampling frequencies of the analog inputs are multiples of the sample rates of audio signals, so you could rotate buffers around sources? Even sync three, or six picos, if they'd need syncing ? I don't know, you are, clearly, the expert, but i thought i'd mention the lofi piezo hex pickup solution in case you'd dismissed a cheap hardware solution. Good luck, great work! Edit- editing an error, a further thought - could you covert a pitch directly to a 12v per octave control voltage, via an amp, from the pico? Don't know if it's any quicker than using a midi to cv... Can I ask if you're also producing any data like an envelope follower, and would a factor relating to the timbre of the note be achievable? Like a multiband envelope follower, I suppose. Not a vocoder, just loudness curves for a high and low band..I am waffling

Simply Awesome! Loved the drum solo also.

Just tried the Windows demo version of your SW -- amazing stuff, really well done.

Does it let a bend or slide get encoded?

Could I build it if I buy migic?

1) Nice! 2) Speedy fingers! 3) Is the unit monophonic or is it capable of polyphony? If monophonic, I recently decided to try my Casio MIDI guitar with a Korg NTS-1. A delightful and compact-yet-powerful combination. The only problem was that the guitar dates back some 35 years, and the latency is quite noticeable. Faster MIDI encoding would be wonderful; especially if a divided pickup is not required. 4) Would simple rectification of the guitar signal ahead of the note detection allow for further reduction of the latency, by doubling the (resulting) frequency of the guitar note, especially for the lower strings?

I love the vertical keyboard that you just glossed over! I've been making something similar but designed around chorded typing (so I can type multiple letters in one go), and am enthused to see others have gone in a similar direction. Good luck and keep up the hacking!

Sorry to insist, buy why not a binary release of this project? When you compile in arduino, a short bit before the board is uploaded with the firmware, there is a .bin file that you could distribute, and this will allow people to replicate this cool project, without having to wait and wait+more shipping waiting.. Note: To watch the path were the .bin file is located, enable debuging on the arduino IDE, and it will show it on the logs where it compiles and uploads.

Awesome! You should use Cortex-M4 at minimum for multiple strings
