TouchMIDI : How To Customize Firmware For Your Original Project

If you have a github account, you can fork our source code and develop your own project. Here We explain how to customize firmware for your own project on TouchMIDI.

1.Fork our TouchMIDI firmware.

link to github for TouchMIDI

2.Customize and build your own project on MPLAB X IDE.

(MPLAB X is IDE for PIC MCU. You can get information here.)

3.You can use much more terminals than PAD1-10.
     If you want GPIO, you can use IN1-4, OUT1-4.
     If you want to connect to I2C devices, you can use SCL/SDA.
     If you want to use UART, you can use TX/RX(not only MIDI).
     Detail of Each Terminals is here.

4.Write your original firmware to TouchMIDI by PICkit3.

MagicFlute Proto12

PROTO12(2016.6)
・筐体はPROTO11と全く同じ。
・基板はTouchMIDI + MagicFluteオリジナル基板による新設計基板。
・基板を支えるねじ止めして支える部品を新規設計し、3Dプリントで製作。
・Maker Faire Tokyo 16 披露版

・基板が二つになったので、ケーブルによる半田付けが多くなった。
・PICのCPUボードを使わなくなったので、基板の青のLEDが光らなくなった。

TouchMIDI : How To Apply To Your Project

You can apply TouchMIDI to your project very easily.

This is a very simple example of applying TouchMIDI.

TouchMIDI is set to a jig, and PAD1-10 are soldered to copper foil.
If you touch the copper foil, TouchMIDI outputs MIDI messages. And you can get sound!

PAD1-10 are below:

TouchMIDI : How To Confirm

If you obtain this board, what can you do first?

1.Connect to USB Cable.

2.Start MIDI application, and setup some instruments. ( e.g. GarageBand on Mac )

3.Connect the other terminal of USB Cable to PC.
   ( If GarageBand on Mac, You can see "Changed Number of MIDI inputs" on the screen.)

4.Touch PAD1-10 terminals by a finger or a wire. You can get sound.

5.You can also check MIDI messages that TouchMIDI outputs by using a MIDI monitor.
