Arduino Music and Audio Projects

This book is for musical makers and artists who want to gain knowledge and inspiration for your own amazing creations. Grumpy Mike Cook, co-author of several books on the Raspberry Pi and frequent answerer of questions of the Arduino forums, brings you a fun and instructive mix and simple and complex projects to help you understand how the Arduino can work with the MIDI system to create musical instruments and manipulate sound.

In Part I you ll find a set of projects to show you the possibilities of MIDI plus Arduino, covering both the hardware and software aspects of creating musical instruments. In Part II, you learn how to directly synthesize a wave form to create your own sounds with Arduino and concludes with another instrument project: the SpoonDuino. Finally, in Part III, you ll learn about signal processing with the Arduino Uno and the Due how to create effects like delay, echo, pitch changes, and realtime backwards audio output.
