Controllers and Editors for Synths, Keyboards and Effects

The Pro Micro  How to get the projects If you are interested in building any of these projects please contact me for details. I don't supply any parts but you can buy the Arduino sketches and a full set of instructions to build the project yourself from £10 . You will get circuit diagrams, PCB layout and a complete parts list for UK suppliers. If you are in the UK I can provide a pre-programmed and pre-soldered Pro Micro for around £20 plus postage. You can contact me via the comments sections. Alternatively,  email me at  gmail - my name is chaz riff but without the space ;) Behringer 2-XM Polyphonic Controller This is the latest project - a four voice controller for the Behringer 2-XM.
