DIY Midi Controller with Capacitive Touch
& VST development of a Drum Machine.
Tap on the fruit to transmit MIDI messages to the DAW and generate sounds.
This prototype uses ADCtouch Library, Most capacitive touch libraries require two pins and a large resistor to acquire precise readings. This library makes use of the AVRs internal wiring to get decent resolution with just a single pin, therefore WITHOUT external hardware.
Arduino MIDI -> Drum Machine:
Building a patch with MAX/MSP for Ableton Live (See data-flow on below)
Tools:
- ADCtouch : https://github.com/martin2250/ADCTouch
- Midi: https://github.com/FortySevenEffects/arduino_midi_library
- LoopMidi: Virtual Midi Device
- HairlessMidi: USB -> MIDI
- Arduino Uno, C++ IDE, MaxMSP, Ableton Live
