is there anyone out there that has built a foot switch that generates percussion sounds (bass drum, tambourine etc) to accompany my guitar playing. MEINL has an fx pedal that generates 10 different sound using a foot switch. i would like to build something like this. i have never worked with Arduino but i am sure there are users out there that have experimented with a similar idea.
There are several ways to go
- Send out a midi signal and use a sample player or similar to generate the sound
- There are some shields that can play sampled sounds on the arduino, but the sound quality is inferior to the first solution
- Get a Teensy PJRC Store and a audio adapter PJRC Store. This way you can have a self contained unit with good audio quality
