The 10 best portable and affordable MIDI keyboard controllers of 2020

If you are here is probably because you are in a budget and/or is looking for a MIDI keyboard controller that fits in your backpack. Can't decide which controller to buy? I got you covered. First, let's talk about what you should think about before making your decision. Are you a music producer? Composer? Keyboardist? Just starting? Just looking to have something you can take on the bus or Starbucks? All of the above? If you are a music producer, potentiometers, rotary encode

The ICE MIDI CONTROLLER Challenge

(Legendas em português) Imagine your plane crashed on a remote place in Alaska. You have an Arduino and a drill, what would you do? An ICE MIDI controller, of course! In this video, you'll see me trying to build a MIDI controller out of a frozen pond. Of course, it also comes with an explanation on how you can do it, using a Teensy board, with its capacitive touch pins and ice! It was literally the coldest thing I've ever done and I don't advise you to do it... unless you are

Learn how to make a simple Theremin with an Arduino and an LDR sensor!

Hello, my Nerd Musician friend! I think if there's one thing every nerd musician would like to have is a Theremin, right? Look how wonderful, Theremin himself playing Theremin! Since buying one can be out of the question for many people, there are several ways to do the same things yourself. The Theremin has two antennas and a system that, frankly, I do not even know how it works, but using our friend Arduino, we can come up with similar things or adapt to what we want. Me, f

Build this MIDI controller using an Arduino: The Transport

This small guy is great if you just want to have three buttons in your workflow, like play, stop and record, or if you just want to start learning how to build a MIDI controller, without having to commit to a bigger project. The Transport, how a I call it, was made as a custom made controller for a client. But, as I posted on my site, more people ended up wanting it, so I also started selling it in our store. But, what can be better than buying? Building your own! That's why

How I created the Traktorino PCB - the Arduino Uno shield for Traktor

This is an overview of how I created the Traktorino's PCB. The Traktorino is an Arduino Uno shield which is a MIDI controller designed for controlling the Traktor software (and others). And, next video I'll show you how I order my PCBs on line! Like most of my projects, the Traktorino was created with the goal to democratize the access to music equipment to everybody. It's a controller that's hackable, affordable and powerful. Lots of people, mostly in third world countries,

Build this MIDI controller using an Arduino: Fliper Dj

In this tutorial I'll show you how you can build this awesome MIDI controller! The Fliper DJ is a MIDI controller which is based in the Arduino platform. It contains 16 arcade buttons, 7 rotary potentiometers and 3 slider potentiometers. One of the potentiometers allows you to change the midi channel of the buttons, making it possible to have four banks of buttons, 16x4. The Fliper DJ is a USB-Midi class compliant device, no drivers or converters needed! First of all My idea

This is how I build my own MIDI controllers for less than US$40.00 (and how you can build yours, too

Beginning of 2015... I had just finished my music Bachelors in Brazil with lots of ideas in my head, but can’t say the same about money in my pocket. I went from a musician who had never soldered a button to someone who owns a company focused on building midi controllers and is currently doing a Masters degree in Music Technology at Georgia State University, researching and building some musical paraphernalia.Today, I tell you how learning to build my own MIDI controllers mad

How to add the MIDI library to the Arduino IDE

MIDI is something that we take for granted, it just works. You plug your MIDI controller, open your DAW, choose your MIDI inputs and outputs and its done. But, have you ever wondered how it works under the hood? When you are creating your own MIDI controller, this is something that you need to keep in mind, there's much more below the note ons and note offs. Writing a code for a MIDI controller could get really complex, probably more than most of us, musicians, want to dive i
