Controllers and Editors for Synths, Keyboards and Effects

 Using the Raspberry Pi as a MIDI Host What is a MIDI host? A MIDI host will allow you to connect 2 USB devices together. Most modern MIDI equipment will have a Type B Midi Socket to allow MIDI transmission to and from the instrument. This is why many newer keyboards do not have 5 pin MIDI sockets and instead use USB to transmit and receive MIDI. This is understandable given many users just use the USB socket to connect to their computer for sequencing etc. The problem is you cannot connect the output of a Type B socket to another Type B. You are expected to connect it to a Type A socket like the ones on your computer. This is where a MIDI Host comes in. You can connect both Type B instruments to the Host and they will talk to each other. The Pi I'm using is blessed with no less then 4 Type A sosckets so it is a perfect choice for a MIDI Host box.       The keyboard I'm using is the Yamaha P121 which is the 73 key version of the P125. As you can see from the rea...

Eurorack version designed for Behringer 2-XM (Works with any MIDI equipped synth with 0-10V CV inputs)          Envelope - ADSR plots There are no Digital to Analogue   Converters -DACs  used in this design. The only additional components on the FVCs are op-amps to boost the 5v output to 10V. The ProMicro supports analogue output using PWM. If this happens at a very high frequency the output is very smooth. The output is filtered with a simple RC filter and there is no digital noise picked up by the synth. The Attack is 0-10s with Decay and Release up to 15s. The envelope is exponential. Here are some plots from various ADSR settings:           Basic Version - No CV Control  FVC-1         Four Voice Controller with Keyboard Logic and Faux Vibrato       All functions are controlled with CC numbers  so you need a controller keyboard     Polyphonic control of 4 MIDI chann...
