Hello my friends,
Dotnet add package SimpleSynth -version 2.0.1 For projects that support PackageReference, copy this XML node into the project file to reference the package. There are lots of options for MIDI input personal computers, from freeware software synths like SimpleSynth (MacOS) for MacOS, or the cross-platform Sforzando for Windows and MacOS. There are also fully-featured multi-track digital audio workstation applications that can take MIDI data and play software synths and record analog or digital audio.
As I was talking to Grumpy Mike in other topic, I need help to build some controllers to my studio. I´m newbie in electronics and I´m having my very first experiences with arduino, then I need some orientation even to study things better.
I gonna explain everything I want to do then you guys can give me some suggestion for where I should start.
My intention is to build 3 or 4 controllers to be able to control the parameters of my virtual audio tools with potentiometers and pushbuttons.
Simple Synthetic
Each controler will have around 24... 30 potentiometers and 8 or 10 pushbuttons.

My intention is to build it using the Arduino Uno with the Mux Shield II.
The first test I did with the arduino was using a crap 'instructiables' sketch. This code was depedent of two softwares, MIDI YOKE and SERIAL MIDI CONVERTER. I have nothing against those softwares... but the problem is, the Serial Midi Converter I have to open and set it up everytime I use the controller. I need something that I can save the setup and use always I want. Or if possible to build a project that doesn´t need those external softwares would be great..
Another Issue is that I use Windows 8.1 x64 on my studio and both softwares Midi Yoke and Serial Midi doesn´t work in that version. I did some tests with those softwares in other computer x32 based.
Grumpy Mike said to me that the only way to not depend on that extra softwares is to use midi ports on the arduino, conected to a real midi interface. Ok I have that option, coz I do have true midi conections at my audio interface. As I said before my intention is to build 3 or 4 controllers. Then I would like to know which is the best way to do it... if use all the controllers through USB or MIDI conection.
I need some suggestions for where I could start.... Would possible to do a sketch to make arduino works like a midi controller through the usb port? I see many equipments in the market today are able to control the softwares and they are only USB conection, working without any external software. I can use an external software if it´s necessary... but I´m just looking for the best and stable way to do it.
Well that´s it... too long post already! :fearful:
Hope someone can give me some tips for the best way to build that project and to study the codes.

Thanks a lot!
