Build the MIDI controllers of your dreams at a fraction of its price. Do it yourself!
Watch the video below and learn all about the Making Music with Arduino course!
The course, for me, was one of the best I found on the internet to date. (...) in a
weekend I literally devoured the course, and in a week I had my first MIDI
controller ." Lucas Bressanin / Electronic Musician
WHY SHOULD YOU BUILD YOUR MIDI CONTROLLERS ?
Express yourself:
Since you are here, I'm sure you love making music, or any type of art expression, right? So, have you ever wondered that you could make not only your music, but, also, the tools you use to make your music? And making them, the way you want it, would allow you to express yourself even more? And isn’t it music, art, all about expression? So, do it yourself, express yourself.
Boost you workflow:
If you use your computer to make music I'm sure you have your favorite DAWs, plugins, synths, etc. So, what if you had at the tip of your fingers dedicated controllers to each of your favorite plugins, in their same configuration, same layout? Stop wasting your time having to decide how to map your generic controller, stop wasting your time looking where that filter knob is: make your own controllers that look exactly like your favorite plugins. It will make your workflow a thousand times better!
Save money:
Building a MIDI controller is extremely cheap! Just to illustrate: for under US$40.00 you can build a complete launchpad with 16 arcade buttons. This controller in the market would cost you around US$200.00! Instead of buying one, make five! And the way you want it.
It's just the tip of the iceberg:
Learning a programming language and electronics is just the tip of the iceberg. With this knowledge you can do so much more than MIDI controllers! You can easily learn other languages, like C++, Java, Python, etc, and you can start adventuring in an infinity of other projects. Go from MIDI controllers to robotics, from art installations to web applications. For sure, this is one of the most valuables skills you can have in the market today!
Now that you know why you should build your own MIDI controllers, let me take you through our course, the Making Music with Arduino, the course that will teach you how you can make your own MIDI controllers and much more! So, let me tell you everything you should know about it: Watch the video bellow!
AND HERE YOU CAN SEE WHY
ABOUT THE COURSE
The "Making Music with Arduino" is a 100% online course, with lifetime access, where you will learn how to build your own MIDI controllers, easily and inexpensively, using the Arduino platform. You will learn, from scratch, how to use a variety of electronic components and how to make your own codes, in order to make your own MIDI controllers the way you want it and much more!
For whom this course is:
🧑🎨 Artists/musicians who want take a step further in their career, building their own controllers, putting their identity not only in their music (or other art), but also in their musical instruments.
🎹 Studio engineers, DJs, VJs, etc., who want to save money by building controllers very cheaply.
🎛️ Hobbysts in general who want to learn about programming/Arduino in a fun way, while building music related tools.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
The course is separated in two: "Making Music with Arduino" & "MMwA: The Arduino Programming", which can be purchased as an add-on in the checkout.
MAKING MUSIC WITH ARDUINO
In the Making Music with Arduino you will learn how to build MIDI controllers without having to learn how to code! You'll learn how to build a variety of MIDI controllers without having to learn the Arduino programming language, only my template to what you need.
It covers:
🎛️ Buttons
🎹 Potentiometers (high resolution or not)
🎛️ How to increase the number of inputs using multiplexers (up to 100+ ins)
🎹 Rotary Encoders
🎛️ Banks
🎹 Addressable LEDs (note feedback)
🎛️ Normal LEDs (note feedback and VU)
🎹 Motorised Faders
🎛️ MIDI over USB
🎹 MIDI over Bluetooth
🎛️ MIDI over DIN cable
🎛️ How to make MIDI class-compliant devices
🎹 Displays
🎛️ How to design and fabricate enclosures
🎹 Materials and where to buy them
🎛️ How to troubleshoot
Bonuses
🎹 Access to my codes, templates, and designs
🎛️ Access to our closed Facebook group. There we will help you with your doubts and you can meet Nerd Musicians like you!
🎹 My personal contact if you need my help
MMWA: THE ARDUINO PROGRAMMING
The "MMwA: The Arduino Programming" is where I teach everything about the Arduino programming! I'll teach how to write your own code, how I have written my codes, and how you can understand other people's codes.
This will take your maker skills to the next level. It will allow you to create anything that comes to your mind. I'll teach you the Arduino programming language while I focus everything on making music!
Ps: Course purchased separately at the checkout.
