simple-MIDI-wind-Instrument

In Progress

The idea is, to build a cheap wind instrument with a MIDI interface for the Atmega Controller. The program should be programmed in Bascom. This instrument should be simple and via a MIDI-USB interface can be plugged into a PC. Are there any interested parties, who would join? Initial trials are already there.

some of my thought about hardware and process

Instead of using switches to select the tone it could be possible to use a gyroscope or Mems device which measures movement and angle.

What kind of transducer is proposed?

Submitted by ARMageddon on 31 July 2012 - 5:01pm

I would be interested in this project too. I think the method of detection of the breath would be crucial so I am wondering whether it is proposed to develop a transducer or to use an existing breath controller? I also think it would be easier to start with a hardware MIDI output in order to avoid issues with USB MIDI drivers. Hardware MIDI is easy to do with a UART. Thi > Read more
