Hi, everybody...the king of Arduino's beginners is in the house!
I'm starting to develope a project to transform a MIDI sequence played from a DAW software (ABLETON LIVE), in a sequence of outputs signals from Digital ports of Arduino uno.  Everything must be (of course) via USB in a  continuos flux.
Someone has an experience about it? In details I'm not sure how can trasform the Arduino in a MIDI Port recognizable from may OSX and softhware (?)

Thanx a lot

Maybe this could be the way...

A step ahead for my job ...Thanks a lot!

Hello Mr. Mike, it's one of your own projects!?!  Can you re-link this code please?

My respect.

Sorry don't know where it has gone. Copy it from here.

Grazie mille Mike.

That was code for an older version of the IDE, sorry just spotted this, you need to use write not print to output MIDI

Code:

void noteSend(byte cmd, byte data1, byte data2) {
  cmd = cmd | channel;        // merge channel number
  Serial.write((byte)cmd);    // command
  Serial.write((byte)data1);  // note number
  Serial.write((byte)data2);  // velocity

ok

Hello Mike, when I connect the serial pin 0 RX to pin n°6 of  6N139 the Arduino's program generate an error while transfer the code.

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0xfc

Do you know what's wrong?

[Reply #10 on:]

You can't use the hardware MIDI interface at the same time as you upload stuff. You have to switch it out. See the switches in my MIDI shield on my site.

[Reply #11 on:]

Yes it works! But all notes goes out from port 13.Can you write an example string for sending only one note (c3) to out port 2 please?

Thanks a lot

[Reply #12 on:]

But all notes goes out from port 13.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by that, could you explain.

[Reply #13 on:]

ok I'll try ...at moment,loading your code, every midi note-on I'm gonna play goes out to digital port 13, but I'd need that 6 different Midi note goes out separately in 6 digital output.I'm sorry Mike, I hope to be enought clear...

[Reply #14 on:]

No I don't get it. What code is this?

If it is the last code I posted then pin 13 is used only to light up an LED not push a note out on.

If it is the MIDI glock then pin 13 is the strobe that enables the solenoid drivers, not the output to the solenoid drivers they are on pins 2 to 9.
