Arduino Midi to cv gate

Other Hardware Audio
1

Hi guys :slight_smile:

i did a pcb layout to the scheme from aleph site, it looks very easy to make.
i was wandering if any one here can help me to add to the code a GATE from pin 15 (digital pin 9 PWM) on the arduino chip, I didn't wrote the code, I copy and past it as it is in his site.
as you will see in the layout from pin 15 there is out to the Gate but i'm (assuming i will have angate out from that pin), im gusseing it will be only 5V Gate, so i took the help from the x0xb0x forum (thanks Guest :slight_smile: ) and did what guest told me, i just multiplyed the 5V to 12V the same as the x0x does.
i hope you guys can help me adding the Gate from the 15 pin on the chip. the goal is when i press the midi keyboards i'll get CV and Gate and not only a cv out.

anyway...this is the code...

byte incomingByte;
byte note;
byte velocity;

int pwm = 6;
int statusLed = 13;   // select the pin for the LED
int action = 2; //0 =note off ; 1=note on ; 2= nada

//setup: declaring iputs and outputs and begin serial
void setup() {
  pinMode(pwm, OUTPUT);  
  analogWrite(pwm, 0);

  setPwmFrequency(pwm, 8);
  
  pinMode(statusLed, OUTPUT);   // declare the LED's pin as output

  //start serial with midi baudrate 31250 or 38400 for debugging
  Serial.begin(31250);        
  //digitalWrite(statusLed, HIGH);  
}

//loop: wait for serial data, and interpret the message
void loop () {
  
  if (Serial.available() > 0) {
    
    // read the incoming byte:
    incomingByte = Serial.read();
    
    //Serial.print(incomingByte); Serial.println('///');
  
    // wait for as status-byte, channel 1, note on or off
    if (incomingByte== 144){ // note on message starting starting
      action=1;
    }else if (incomingByte== 128){ // note off message starting
      action=0;
    }else if (incomingByte== 208){ // aftertouch message starting
       //not implemented yet
    }else if (incomingByte== 160){ // polypressure message starting
       //not implemented yet
    }else if ( (action==0)&&(note==0) ){ // if we received a "note off", we wait for which note (databyte)
      note=incomingByte;
      playNote(note, 0);
      note=0;
      velocity=0;
      action=2;
    }else if ( (action==1)&&(note==0) ){ // if we received a "note on", we wait for the note (databyte)
      note=incomingByte;
    }else if ( (action==1)&&(note!=0) ){ // ...and then the velocity
      velocity=incomingByte;
      playNote(note, velocity);
      note=0;
      velocity=0;
      action=0;
    }else{
      //nada
    }
  }
}


////////////////////////////////////////??? ??
void playNote(byte note, byte velocity){
  int value;

  //since we don't want to "play" all notes we wait for a note between 36 & 44
  value = (note - 20.6) * 0.083 / 5 * 255;
  if(velocity == 0) value = 0;
  analogWrite(pwm, value);
  
  Blink();
}

      {
        switch(divisor)

        }
        
        TCCR2B = TCCR2B & 0b11111000 | mode;
      }
  }

void Blink()
{
  digitalWrite(statusLed, HIGH);
  delay(50);
  digitalWrite(statusLed, LOW);
  delay(50);
}

i thank you in advance for the help.
