I made this project as a first exploration into making a MIDI controller. I also wanted to figure out how to use touch sensors, since I would be using them in a final project for another class. So, I made a MIDI keyboard using touch sensors in 4 hours! Since I would like to design MIDI controllers for a career, finally making my first one after so long is truly a dream come true.
First, I wired up 7 touch sensors and began creating the code. I used an Arduino Leonardo paired with the MIDIUSB Arduino library, and used several arrays and created my own MIDI function to trigger each button.
The hardest part of this project without a doubt was the wiring. I had to wire up 12 touch sensors individually, and since each touch sensor has 3 wires going to it, that makes 36 wires total. Trying to get every wire properly seating and working was a challenge, and I barely finished within the 4 hour mark. But, I was successful in the end!
