THE ULTIMATE ONLINE
DIY MIDI CONTROLLER SCHOOL
Build any MIDI controller you can think of, improving drastically how you make music, while saving a lot of money on gear!
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

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!
KICAD PCB DESIGN
The “Kicad PCB Design” is a 100% online course that will teach you how to design and manufacture your own Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
During the course we will design one PCB from scratch, showing the whole process until fabrication.
This course will allow you to make your electronics products faster, more reliable and look super professional!
