Send program change through tft?

Using Arduino Audio
1

Hey people,

first: I don't own a Arduino yet but I'm very interested in buying one. I watched a bunch of videos on youtube about it and it seems pretty awesome.
The main thing I'm looking for is working with MIDI. Such as read out a potentiometer and send the value to LEDs and computer including MIDI feedback (computer sends MIDI back to Arduino and to LEDs).

I have an idea in my mind, which is having a display (TFT). I want to type (either with a virtual keyboard or with a data-wheel) in a name of a song, set a program change number and save it in a list. In the end I want to have my whole setlist on this TFT. I want to scroll through the list and by pressing a button, Arduino should send the specified program change.

Is that possible?

Thank you very much,
Chris

Yes it is.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok, THAT is nice.

I want to buy a starter kit to learn the basics in working with Arduino.

Are there good tutorials on the internet, how to program a LCD for this purpose? (Adding on screen midi elements, that send midi).

Thanks again,
Chris

There are libraries for sending data to an LCD screen.
There are libraries for MIDI stuff. I haven't used either.
