Most parts by themselves (code, hardware, etc.) were pretty straight forward, and as long as I focused on one part at a time, it made the total project more manageable. The trickiest part for me was actually with the laptop that plays the midi music files and getting it to talk to the Arduino in real time. I have more details about the whole project in this video: ruclips.net/video/vLvWDcuUT8U/видео.html
Yes, but I don't know for sure how you might trigger the solenoids directly from a DAW. I think the software I mentioned in my blog post (in description) is depreciated. For my newer projects I use Hiduino, which lets you re-flash the firmware of an Arduino board so it is natively recognized as a MIDI device when you plug it into a computer.
Wow, this is amazing!
Super clean build too!
I am a Arduino user and can imagine the insane hard work

@@MisterDevine I think this is the wrong link. It was not about music.
@@tutororialwiz Ha ha, oops. Thanks for the catch. I wonder how many people were like "whaaat???" Anyway, it should be the right link now.
I want to build something like this too. However, this is a glockenspiel (metallic) not a xylophone (wooden).
Excelent!!! Congratulations!!!
For a 8 note xylophone, do you think we can use a ESP32?
