In this video, I'll show you the building process of the MidiMood, a Minimoog based DIY MIDI Controller, made with an Arduino!
The Minimoog is the most iconic analogue synthesizer of all times, with great plugin versions like the Arturia Mini V and the Moog’s Minimoog iPad app.
I always wanted to have better control over my synths and I thought that building a MIDI controller with the layout of the Minimoog was the best way to go. Although it is based on the Minimoog, it can be used with any virtual synth, like Massive, Omnisphere, Sylenth, etc.
This MIDI controller was made using an Arduino Pro Micro, and two multiplexers, besides the potentiometers and toggle switches.
The multiplexers allow me to increase the number of inputs of the Arduino, and the Pro Micro allows me to create a MIDI controller plug and play - MIDI class-compliant. All things that I teach how to do in the MMwA course.

Beyond beautiful. Gonna try this one! I can already picture it controlling non-moog synths with a moog like layout, great
bro the song in the background is insane... so good
Im so glad about this, i just started doing some research for a similar project. the only difference is that i wanna use a raspberry pi for hosting the vst and use the whole thing as a standalone hardware synth
Excellent video and fantastic sales pitch. Very inspiring! I think your course is what I need to realise ideas I've had for years. Thank you. Now I'm off to talk to the other purse string lol
Awesome!
Heey this looks amazing as a must do project! Unfortunately the files are not available anymore, could you reupload them please? Much love from Spain

This is my new dream. Thank you. I was thinking about things like this just yesterday and had no idea you were out here doing it. You showed up as an ad in an Andrew Huang video. I will be buying the course.
This is really cool!!! Is there a kit I could buy?
That would be pretty cool!
Nice work man!!
That's such a cool project, man you are a genius.
Beautiful! Now just map it to the minimoog app on iOS and BAM. you've got one! Well done!
Beautiful job on the cabinet. As a former technician, your soldering scares me. 😉
It sure sounds great, though, and you saved a fortune doing it yourself. Bet you could sell a lot of these if you wanted to!
I'd love to see some tutorials on soldering from a actual technician who has worked on these things, I'm just learning and I can perfectly ruin a solder joint
Now I dare you to code your Arduinos to emulate a MiniMOOG! 🙂
Seriously - great vid mate and makes me want to build some funky controllers. Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave
Nice work and video too, man! Get a soldering iron with a 1mm refined tip like Ersa and you never have to rework your soldering.
Beautiful, only comment would be from a woodworker perspective you should really seal the backside of the panels the same as the fronts to prevent warping.

Justo tenia esta ideada se ve increíble
This the most convincing PCBway commercial.
Very nice... I will like to see an hardware to control omnispehere 2 by spectrasonic....😎
Just found your channel! Wow giving me flashbacks to undergrad where I built a synth with an arduino. Will check out your projects for sure, curious why you needed two(!) micros in that beastie.
It's one Arduino Pro Micro and one multiplexer cd4067!
Que legal, estou curiosa para ver o resultado.
Awesome... I was looking to build one and was looking for inspiration. And there yoiu were with a beautiful controller! Thank you :)
Your cats are beautiful ! (Nice sequencer BTW!)
They are! haha
This is a game changer for me! I hate using virtual synth not for their sound, but for the usabillity... so this is amazing! Game changer! Thanks!!!!
U did a really nice project. In this video u use a soldering iron, I did a little laugh, from the early 1920s, isn't it? But it works and u do very success. This amazes me much.
It's from the early 2020s
Just some hints: a better soldering iron would do wonders. Also, it is not a good idea to put the solder on the iron and then apply to the cable and soldering point, but apply the soldering when the parts are already in touch, so the flux inside will do its job and you will get better looking soldering points. I am not a fan of the way you have distributed the power rails either, I would have used other kind of wire. Also, try to keep the peeled part of the wires as short as possible. And plan a bit in advance the length of the wires to get better looking end products.
I know my comment could sound harsh, but it is just to push you to the perfection on your wonderful DIY MIDI controllers. I have signed up your course, in case you have any doubt of my appreciation for your work. But having soldered and tinkered with electronics for close to 40 years, makes me picky :-)
Keep on building!
Brilliant stuff, very nicely thought out and executed, looks great too!
I am speechless, this is so amazing.
Love the wooden enclosure!
Where can I find the file with the code and the diagram? :c
Has anyone got an update on this? I'm building several synthesizers myself and want to check this out
X3
Really digging this tune. Philip Glass meets Tom Waits meets..
(The first one tune)
Impressive, a great solution for musicians on budget! Having real knobs to tweak is just another kind of feeling, then moving them by mouse, the feedback of how your music sounds is instant. Do you think it is possible to make some more advanced controlers like this for Synth1, or any VA in general?
Yes, totally!
sweet! I want to make one too!
That's just beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, this is amazing, you sell this type of controllers as well??
if the first song is yours, congrats, it is amazing stuff, would be happy to collaborate
Brilliant!! You could make the Roland Jupiter -8
beautiful WORK!!!!!!
When You build a Diva Controller I will be your official fan 4ever
A Diva Controller is easy. .-)
I believe that you’ve convinced me to build my own midi controller!!!!
Nem vi, já amei.
Hahahaha tu é a de best
Much, much appreciated! Amazing piece of art!
Thank you so much!!
Congrats man!!! Awesome job!!! PLEASE PLEASE, upload those files again. Link is broken.
Awesome video! I’m definitely checking out your course. I’d love to see some arduino guitar pedals. Thanks for the great content!
this is brilliant! thanks for sharing all the artefacts...cheers!
Man, I love this and really want to make one now! Great effort!
Well congratulations, it looks very nice. I just had heart attack when I saw your wiring..lol. but it works that's fine.
One way around the birds best is to lace with string or another wire. Its commonly used on aircraft and old world equipment. A bundle of wires will be stiffer then the wires loose.
Show ! Ficou mt bom , Parabéns !
wesley 00s brigadão!
Podre ponerle teclas y estructuras para poder convertir esto en un Sintetizador analógico tipo Moog
Man you're clever!!
You’re not a nerd. Or, if you are, it’s a great thing. Nerds make all the cool things everyone likes.
Somehow, to me, Arduino seems like ‘cheating.’ I like to build with actual IC’s and component’s. Just an age thing is all. I love your design and the case is superb! You have many talents. Great going!
Thank you so much for the words! :)
I want to know what you know so bad... amazing work man.
Awesome, love it, well done ...
Beautiful project.
Thank you! 😊
your download link is dead , could you reupload it please ? thank you very much @@NerdMusician
That is quite a lot of work, well done 👍 . Many thanks for the inspiration 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hello thanks a lot for you video : it exactly matches with my expectations !
Unfortunately the files URL in your description seems to be dead :(
Is there an alternative way to retrieve those files ?
Best regards from France
No seu curso você entra no assunto de MPE? Só para saber mesmo. Vou fazer o curso.
Would you re-upload the files, please? Link is broken... Thanks, amazing controller!
That is sooo cool bro!!!!! I want to learn this too... Can you also develope a Ableton Fader controler maybe ???
Does your course cover pitch wheels and mod wheels? That would have been a great addition for this midi controller.
Very nice looking. Soldering nightmare! Lol!
Next will have a custom PCB, so no wires!
Amazing work, just signed up for the course and planning on making a few things just like this!
Have fun!
Now you need to make a miniMoog clone in the Teensy Audio Library 😉❤️
How awesome would it be if you threw some keys on it, a raspberry pi to run the vst internally, and had a 1/4 inch out!
If one would want such a product but isn't equiped to build one himself, where could you buy it?
Will the Files be made available to download again? The website to download them is down for the first link
That is amazing dude! What a great project
Thanks a ton!
I really enjoyed watching the video!!!
Just out of curiosity, can this be directly paired with the BP Synth to make a stand alone unit? I'd love to take the computer out of the equation. Thank you for the awesome videos.
The music that plays during the building process ??? I need to know !!!
1:35 Oh yeah, this is going to be a clean build.
6:00 **Wire spaghetti everywhere**
Good god man, use PCBs. You could have even used RJ45's since this is all digital anyway. Thank you for sharing your art nonetheless.
Looks really good, inspiring build. You gotta get some silver capped knobs to break up the dark knobs on dark stain, makes all the diff
Nice. Keep on your good work.
i love that sample
Ele tem compatibilidade com teclado também?
The link doesn't work. I really want to build this thing :(
MIni MiniMoog! nIce!
Hi - would like to build this - but, I'm not sure how to interface it to the outside world. Your schematic shows pots, switches, multiplexer board and the Arduino, nothing else. There is no MIDI interface - no audio out, etc. What am I missing?????
The MIDI is going out the Arduino USB port
@@altonemill341 It's a MIDI controller. You need to connect the USB of the Arduino into a computer and load a VST synth
@@zaga9560 and vst-plugin should support midi cc
fantastic genius, bravo!
Thanks!!
The music in this video is phenomenal!!! I wrote I song to it !
I love it!
Cara, eu queria muito comprar um desses. Como faço?
Can this be used to run the MinniMOOG app on an iPad? That would be awesome!
Excelente trabalho, mas voce nao mostra o que exatamente vc usou pra montar o circuito. Imagino que nao da pra ligar este monte de potenciometros e chaves numa plaquinha tipo arduino nano, que so disponibiliza umas poucas IOs, Teria mais circuitos integrados envolvidos nesta montagem que nao aparece no video ?
Can you teach me how to build a Hikari Instruments MONOS please?
Since I saw this video I was crazy to reproduce this project... It turned out really cool
Where can I find the cutting drawing for the wooden parts?
Amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
with arduino, is it possible to have good midi cc exchange with a vst software like a real midi controller (without artifact, noise or midi cc annoying jump)?
Dónde puedo encontrar el diagrama y código para la elaboración de este mismo proyecto?
Saludos gracias por compartir tan excelente trabajo.
Fascinating project. The link to download the files is unfortunately not functioning at the moment
Brother I would like to buy one. Will it be possible for purchase?
Muy Bueno!!!!!! Felicitaciones! A forma da onda (waveform) vc resolveu com um potenciometro ou é um esquema tipo chave seletora de 6 pontos/posiçoes? Gracias!
It would be nice to be able to build a controller that works with daw and vst like the big brand do with a script , do you teach Java script as well?
Fantastic, I love it
Glad you like it!
so cool!! i need one!
DIY! haha
So awesome
Tu é o cara. E a trilha sonora? Produção tua também?
Valeu Ortiz!! A música eu uso do Epidemic Sounds. Pago um serviço pra poder usar "royalty free". Se fosse fazer a música aí ia ser muita mão!
Excellent build! You think its possible to add an AUX output through an available digital pin?
Looking forward to see how you managed to incorporate so many inputs (probably using multiplexers) and which Arduino platform you have used. It's been a project which I have been longing for the past months.
Conrad Vassallo nice!! Soon I’ll post everything in the Making Music with Arduino. But feel free to take a look in the code/schematics and shoot me questions!
@@NerdMusician Where can i find the schematic ?
but how are you able to connect more than 30 potentiometers while having only 12 pins that are digital?
Using multiplexers! the cd4067
I would like to build a controller for an Ensoniq ESQ-1.
Nice work! In the video it looked like there was a fair amount of latency. Was that real or just the video editing? If real, any way to improve it? Your videos are excellent--thanks for sharing.
Boa! Eu estava com uma ideia de fazer algo parecido (controlador), porém usando impressão 3D para montar o gabinete. Você não deve se lembrar, mas comentei num vídeo seu, há um ano e meio atrás, sobre como fazer do Arduino um controlador MIDI (comentei como fazer o seu esquema funcionar no Linux). Parei o projeto, pois comecei num trampo e devido à correria eu deixei de lado. Curti muito o vídeo, me lembrou aqueles vídeos do canal 8-bit Keys! Parabéns pelo trabalho! Acabamento show de bola! (E desculpe por comentar em português.)
Oi Francisco, brigadão!! Você tem que tocar o seu projeto! Qualquer dúvida estamos aí! Grande abraço.
I found a Roland Edirol in a thrift shop that doesn't seem to be working. Can one use the pots and other parts in that for an all original design MIDI controller?
