Hey guys!!
Newbie here...
I´m trying to start a midi controller project. I would like to start making some simple tests, but nothing working so far.
I´m using arduino one and serial midi converter to use arduino as a usb midi controller (I think serial converter is needed... but not sure! hehehe)
For the first test I just want to make a single potentiometer works, and I still got nothing! lol
I think I´m not doing the library right. I did try many diferent libraries but nothing works so far.
Then I would like to ask where can I study the midi library to understant the parameters and codes. I got to understand this coz so far I´m trying codes that I don´t have any idea whats going on.
I simply wanna make a single potentiometer send midi comands do my daw... I supose it´s a quite simple code to start with... if I could understand how it works. 
Thanks

It is called a Uno not a one.
What serial midi converter please provide a link. What are you sending the MIDI to?
You do not need any extra hardware if you use a converter program on your PC, the one called "hairless" is good.

Thanks Mike... I´m using the "Serial - MIDI Converter - SpikenzieLabs". I think the converter is working fine... I supose the problem is that i´m not doing the midi library right. I did try some libraries I found in the internet, but nothing working so far. I must learn a bit about the midi codes. Where can I study those codes?
I gonna create a new post today showing the project I would like to build... before I start studing this deeper I need some opinions. I must know if my project is possible to work.
Thanks

That is very much like hairless but it does have a much longer latency.

Sounds like it.

Well there are lots of internet tutorials on the subject, but the quality will vary. I am a bit biased about this because I wrote this book specifically to teach about MIDI. Well the first section of the book at least.
I must know if my project is possible to work.
Yes your project is quite simple.
