esp8266 as midi controller #2
Description
@kalandara commented:
Hi, I have build midi controller with 12 buttons and it works fine with my Ableton live 9, I using Arduino pro micro for this, now I want to connect this midi controller via esp8266 to my computer and continue to use my midi controller without USB kabel.
Is it possible ? thanks
Hi Kalandara,
You could build a controller with 12 buttons from esp8266 + MCP23017 port expander (this provides 16 digital input/output pins for say up to 16 buttons). esp8266 then can serve as a wifi access point to your computer with Abelton live (similarly like in this project). Since midi can't really be done via network connection directly (again similarly like this project) you could use OSC protocol. Abelton live has the Connection Kit set of plugins to receive OSC messages from the network.
