Arduino Due Bass, Drum & Lead Sequencer

Thank you for interesting in my project. It go on with development. So many I want to integrate, e.g. Note length, octave select, more controller (pitch bend, modulation) and so on.

I got the same problem, sometimes I got notifications and sometimes not. It is apparently random, or it makes a different if you reply over the hackster or the arduino homepage. I don't know. Only on hackster.io and arduino.cc you can following the project.

Sorry to hear that your display has a broken touch. Theoretical all vs1053 boards must work. I use this one( https://www.banggood.com/VS1053-MP3-Module-Development-Board-On-Board-Recording-Function-p-1244003.html?cur_warehouse=CN). I was unable to add this link in the part list. And sorry no video online.

Hello, can you install mcu_friend_kbv library from the library manager and load the example TouchScreen_calibr_native. change line 20 to int XP = 9, YP = A2, XM = A3, YM = 8; //most common configuration. If all OK with your screen, you got the right values for RIGHT=TS_MINX, LEFT=TS_MAXX, BOT=TS_MINY and TOP=TS_MAXY. Take the values you got and change the line 37-40 with this values. For the calibration an installed sd-card is needed. You can use the screen for the DUE too.

Thanks again for answering. Well I did try some tests even with screen attached to Uno, and for now not getting touch to work, not on Uno (without pin corrections), not on Due (with or without pin corrections). Maybe touch dead. Maybe I will try more, but, since I still have to order (and wait) VS1053 board, I think I will get TFT for Mega (Due) "on blue board" as well. Speaking of boards, what exactly VS1053 module did you use, any reference picture maybe? And, is there any video of Your device working? Thanks! :-)

Thanks for answer! By the way, how to turn on some email notifications on these conversations? I did not get any notification about this answer, by default? Also, is there maybe any other places to follow this project, Youtube, anything? Thank You! :)

Hello again! Today I got Arduino Due, and I had 3.5" with touch already, hoped it will be right one. Well, looks like the controller/protocol is right, I got blue background, but - also I got infinite loop of crosses icons circling aorund the screen, so, i am guessing, calibration loops, it maybe thinks touch is pressed all the time. Any experience with such situation maybe? Thank You. EDIT: nothing else connected, just Due board and TFT on it. EDIT2: I commented this: //else calibrate(); , and now it gets to the main screen, but, sure enough, touch does not work. Dang, happiness was so close :) EDIT3: after some reading around, my guess is that my TFT shield has touch pins mapping as for Uno, and it is not the same as on Duo. Thoughts? Suggestions? ;-)

You're right. I've tested the program and fixed the reverb. Thank you for inform me. I've read the data sheet wrong, without setting the global reverb (talkMIDI(0xB0, 0x0c, 127);) no reverb.

Hello, thank you in interesting in my project. The global midi reverb need be rework, but the reverb for the channels work. It can be true that the clock for the vs1053 could be higher, test it. I've read in one forum, higher clock decrease the polyphony. Witch version you used (bass_drum_computerII.rot or Bass_Drum_Lead_computer) and what vs1053 board? The second version is a early version with no note off. Played notes with long playing sound reduce the polyphony. Can you input talkMIDI(0xB7, 0x7b, 127); //all notes channel 7 off and talkMIDI(0xB8, 0x7b, 127); //all notes channel 8 off at line 242 for the second version. Than you got only sixteenth notes but more playable notes. The first version, is an death end, but I think to fix the note off routine and the song mode. Try https://github.com/rom33/BassDrumComputer/tree/425716a05f51281935db839fbccba875d58da8c7 for a working song mode of the old version.

Thank you for interesting in my project. It go on with development. So many I want to integrate, e.g. Note length, octave select, more controller (pitch bend, modulation) and so on.

I think about it, but you can find many videos that demonstrate the sound capacity of the vs1053 with general midi sound. Search in youtube "vs1053 general midi".
