MIDI and Arduino Workshop In-Person
This hands-on workshop is an introduction to physical computing using the popular Arduino micro-controller platform and MIDI - the Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
"MIDI is a technical standard that describes a communication protocol, digital interface, and electrical connectors that connect a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers, and related audio devices for playing, editing, and recording music."
We'll learn how we can use Arduino to create musical instrument user interfaces from buttons, sensor, and other input devices.
And, how we can create MIDI-compatible instruments using Arduino.
This class is appropriate for all participants including those with no prior programming experience.
Appropriate for ages 10 and up; youth under 13 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Computers will be available in the workshop for you to use.
