MIDI Control from Touch Sensor

Project work from Students working at London Metropolitan University, Music Technology Department.

Here you see a Sensor interfacing with an AVR Microcontroller, and then a Computer running a Synthesis program interfaced via serial MIDI.

i'm presuming that the avr microcontroller is turning the voltages to midi values?? did you have to program it using assembly language or c? also did you build the serial midi board or buy it? thanks, matt.

Hi Matt. In this project the AVR onboard ADC converts a variable DC voltage into the MIDI CC Value. The code for this is written in Assembly language and we use the AVR onboard UART for serial data transmission. The development board used here is the STK500 from ATMEL. If you would like the source code let me know.

Best wishes

crazy sound!!

did you come up with that or did they teach it?

also I'm looking to do music technology there, whats the teaching and equipment like?

[LMUMIT]

The sound is created using Synthedit, it was made to test this controller by the lecturer and students! If you are interested in this sort of stuff you should come and have a look! They have super studios and Electronics labs etc.

It sometimes sounds like someone's dying.

can u tell me how to play midi file using AVR and its circuit diagram.

Good god. Its TAPED together.

wonderful!
