How to NOT make a DIY MIDI CONTROLLER (with an Arduino)

[@Yaeltex]

Our first controller "La Sensible" is a complete mistake. Like, every part of it is done the wrong way. After that, the list is endless. Failed PCB designs, wrong millimeters on case prototypes, miscalculated component dimensions, wrong unit conversions when designing, missing wholes when laser cutting because they were in the wrong Illustrator layer, several mistakes while designing 2+ layer PCBs because of layer inverted orientations, and a million more. Doing it wrong is sometimes the only way to really learn something, and you possibly saved some steps for many with these tips. Thanks for making me think about mistakes, there have been so many! And thanks for sharing yours :)

It's so painful when they happen, but when we see behind is such a beautiful journey. And yeah, this video doesn't even touch the surface of all the mistakes I made... :p And I'm completely in love and mind blown by your new modular controller. That's FUCKING PRO STUFF.

I'm about to start work on my first (and fairly ambitious) MIDI controller. Your channel is the most helpful thing I've found! Thank you.

[@NerdMusician]

Thanks Will! As a piece of advice, start small and go ambicious slowly!

[@WillKistler]

@@NerdMusician Good advice. Thanks!

Very nice to see a glimpse into the process and the progress.

[@NerdMusician]

Thanks, John. Hope to build more soon!

electronics? and music ? and DIY? count me in!!

You will learn, from scratch, how to use a variety of electronic components and how to make your own codes hotm.art/DOITYOURSELFMAKINGMUSICWITHARDUINO

ik this is a really old video, but I do have some decent experience with 3d printers, if you need to join 3d prints, my reccomendation is to get an old soldering iron if you have one, or just order a really cheap one, get a chisel tip on it, and press it into the 2 pieces of plastic, while it's heated of course. Frankly built has a video on it. Very very solid way to get parts joined,

Super cool. I like the guitar one..I came from Instagram by the way!

Nice bro! Really good information, i had similar mistakes

[@NerdMusician]

Thanks! They are always around...

@@NerdMusician - Você pode fazer um dispositivo MIDI com botões do Super Nintendo? Talvez você possa usar o Novation Launchpad como inspiração.

[@bensmirmusic]

Which 3D printer would you advise a beginner to craft the plates, the boxes, containers etc.

[@somapsychedelicmusic]

Donde puedo comprarlos????? :)))

[@medosanart]

cool project.

[@NerdMusician]

Thanks!

Hola, veo que en tu primer proyecto usaste una comunicación a la PC mediante FTDI, es el FTDI232?, ese Chip me dio mucha latencia (50ms) en mi PC que es del 2013 y en una tablet con un Intel del 2014 (el proyecto era un EDrum). No pude disminuir la latencia ni bajando la cantidad de muestras con driver ASIO. ¿A ti que tal te fue en ese aspecto?, gracias.

any thoughts on adding multiplexing to your code? need more inputs! thx!

[@NerdMusician]

I have been using multiplexers a lot now!

[@DanteHigh]

@@NerdMusician is there an easy way to include multiplexers in the code you made? maybe a video on multiplexers? or just point me in the right direction? thanks!!!!
