About this sketch:
------------------------------------
This is an Arduino sketch that I wrote to "control" some aspects of a Korg ES-1 via drum triggers/pads. The Korg ES-1 is a sampler/sequencer, manufactured around 2000. I didn't want to simply play along with a sequenced track, I wanted to control it and interact with it. And a lot of drummers use triggers as 'one-shots' and while there is some value to that, I don't want to be limited to that either.
hardware used: Korg ES-1, Alesis Trigger IO, Arduino board (specifically a Ruggeduino & thier MIDI shield), triggger pads of your choice, etc.
connections: Trigger pads ----> Alesis Trigger IO -----> Arduino MIDI IN , MIDI Out ----> Korg ES-1 MIDI IN
the trigger voltage(?) is changed to a MIDI note via the Alesis IO, which is then translated to the coded MIDI command in the code below. You MUST synchronize or plan out what MIDI notes you want to use for this to work. This means that notes setup in the Trigger IO must match the code below for it to work. Someday I'd love to install an LCD with a Setup screen so that these could be managed more easily.
Things this sketch does:
------------------------------------
1. Program change up/down
a. note 60 is up, note 62 is down
2. "Mute" parts 1-7b (sets the volume to zero)
a. note 64 is part 1
b. note 66 is part 2
c. note 68 is part 3
d. note 70 is part 4
e. note 72 is part 5
f. note 74 is part 6
g. note 76 is part 6a
h. note 78 is part 6b
i. note 79 is part 7a
j. note 80 is part 7b
TO DO:
----------------------------
1. Start/stop via trigger pad
if note X is received
sendRealTime (Start/Stop)?
2. MIDI file reader/send out, get sync...
