Applications

  • Card test code
  • Basic Application
  • Polyphonic/Drum Triggers Application

Programming

  • Program with FTDI Serial
  • FTDI set to 5V signal levels
  • Cable does not connect VCC

ER-MIDI-CV4-02 P1080860-720px.jpg

  • Unplug MIDI in cable from front panel
  • Connect FTDI card with 1:1 cable
  • Download code in Arduino IDE
  • Disconnect FTDI
  • Connect MIDI in cable to front panel

Card Test Code

  • Code useful to verify card is correctly assembled
  • TestPotDigIOs
    • Test Digital Outputs (CLK, TRIG, GATE) and Speed Pot
  • ER_MIDI_CV4_04_TEST_DACs
    • Read pot, scale value. write to 4 analog outputs
    • Also, drive CLK, TRIG, GATE digital outputs

HAGIWO code baseline

  • SYNTHMIDICTL01.ino
    • Runs on Arduino ATMEGA328 (Arduino NANO or Pro Mini)
    • Used as baseline and converted to CircuitPython

Basic Application

Polyphonic and Drum Triggers Code

  • ER_MIDI_CV4_02 - Working code
  • #define for polyphonic and drum modes
    • #define POLYPHONIC uses CV1-4, a single gate output
    • #define DRUM_TRIGGER_OUTS uses TRIG and CLK to trigger drums Beaks (Peaks)
// V/OCT LSB for DAC
// ER-VCO-03 characteristics
//  PITCH ADJ knob roughly centered
//  0V = 93.08 Hz (roughly F2)
//  1V = 179 Hz (G3)
//  1.52V = 261 Hz (C4)
//  2V = 365 Hz (G4)
//  3V = 722 Hz (G5)
//  4V = 1.45 KHz (G6)
//  5V = 3.05 KHz (G7)
// Max output voltage of this card is 4.096V (4 octaves)
//  1mV per DAC count
// 12 notes per octave = 1/12V per note = 83.333 mV
// Steps are in 83.333 mV
// Table counts up by integer steps - rounded 83.333 mV

Drum Controller Application

  • Use TRIG and GATE output jacks to drive Beaks in Drum mode
  • Re-label Gate as TRIG 2 on Front Panel
  • Using USB MIDI as MIDI source
  • Using keyboard as MIDI source
  • Uses 2 ER-MIDI-CV4-02 card sets
    • One ER-MIDI-CV4-02 card set to listen on MIDI Channel 1
    • Second ER-MIDI-CV4-02 card set to listen to Drums on Channel 10
  • GM 1 Sound Set

Drum Controller Build notes

  • Do not populate D/A converter
  • Do not populate CV jacks
  • Do not populate related discrete parts

3D Views

  • Controls card side view

Issues

ER-MIDI-CV4-02 P1080869-720px.jpg

Rev 2

  • Daughtercard
    • Fixed missing connection D14 anode to GND
    • Moved R1 down a bit
    • Haven't ordered yet (2022-12-04)

Rev 1

  • Daughtercard
    • Missing connection D14 anode to GND
      • Add wire D14-Anode to D9-Anode
    • R1 is close to Arduino socket (fit OK, but tight)
