Stylophone as MIDI controller

http://sites.google.com/site/skriyl/Home/midi-stylophone
Just for fun... not the most useful synth mod ever made :)
The technicals... Soldered wires to Stylophone PCB to use its keypad / resistor ladder.. put 5V across it and read voltage at stylus by analog input pin on arduino clone (miduino). Found out input value for each note and sent out MIDI note on/off messages thru serial connection when notes are detected. Simple. Used propellerheads reason to make the sounds

Very cool....although I think I would go nuts trying to play something on that, lol. Btw, what is that kick starting at the 1:00 mark?

@Dose808 Its one of the kick samples out of the Reason factory sound bank.. not sure which one.. with a bit of disto and delay

Do you use midi out???

[hotchk155]

@sanrldv yup

[sanrldv]

@hotchk155 it works with arduino????

[hotchk155]

@sanrldv - Yes, see the link in the clip detail.. basically you take midi output from aurduino serial out

[Dose808]

Interesting...that one has slipped by me...on a mission now to find it...thx for the reply

@Rainy0ayProductions - no computer needed as it outputs MIDI. I have a later clip with everything stuffed in the same box

hi this is GREAT! is it hoocked up to a computer or can it just run directly from the stylophone
