The LED connected to pin GP18, should be the one below the button connected to pin GP13 and when pressing that button These need to be te same length, and the elements correspond. That will be played if a button is pressed. Unless you are building an exact replica you’ll have to change this to match your circuit. Next there are arrays defining which GPIO pins are connected to LEDs and buttons. sleep ( 0.01 )Īfter loading all libraries a midi object is created with adafruit_midi.MIDI, this one liner will also turn the duty_cycle = duty_cycles duty_cycles = max ( duty_cycles - 900, 0 ) time. send (]) for ix, led in enumerate ( leds ): led. send (]) triggered_keys = True elif not pk and tk : print ( "note %d stopped" % ix ) triggered_keys = False midi. value : duty_cycles = 65025 for ix, ( pk, tk ) in enumerate ( zip ( pressed_keys, triggered_keys )): if pk and not tk : print ( "note %d started" % ix ) midi. Pressed_keys = triggered_keys = while True : for ix, btn in enumerate ( buttons ): pressed_keys = not btn. Leds = # Set Initial Duty Cycles to 0 for each LEDĭuty_cycles = # Key and trigger states

The full code is shown here, and we’ll go over it step by step below. In case you aren’t using an exact replica of my MacroPad. Though, let’s go over the code, so you can change the parts to match your project Look for it in the Microsoft store.įinally, create a file code.py in the root of the Pico drive and add the code below. Tool Piano 10 which is fine to start with.
#MIDI MONITOR RASPBERRY PI INSTALL#
You will also need to install a tool that turns the signals from a MIDI device into music. Lib folder on the Pico (create the latter if necessary). Get the AdaFruit MIDI library, and copy the folder adafruit_midi (from the repo) to the Next, connect the Pico to a computer, it will Start from scratch you’ll have to flash the correct firmware to the Pico. The Raspberry Pi Pico will need to run CircuitPython for this to work, my MacroPad already had this but if you
#MIDI MONITOR RASPBERRY PI UPDATE#
Just make sure to update the code below so that the pins correspond with your If you want to follow along exactly, first you’ll have to build my MacroPad, though pretty much any Raspberry Pi Pico So there are a number of thing to change in the code. It is possible to send signals to bend notes, set the volume of an instrument, … Keys also don’t repeat after being Played, but can also contain the velocity (how fast/hard a key is pressed). The signal contains the note that needs to be Picked up by a compatible instrument or software to produce a sound.

If you are interested in how to connectīuttons and LEDs to a Pi Pico, check out that post here!Ī MIDI controller behaves different from a USB keyboard once a key is pressed it generates a MIDI signal that can be Which I build last month is the perfect little device to play around with this. With a MIDI library available for the Raspberry Pi Pico making a little MIDI “piano” is relatively easy.
