The Behringer FCB1010 Pedal Board
I have just purchased a new Behringer FCB1010 pedal board. Why? First, it does quite a bit of what I plan to do with my Line 6 pedal board. Second, it’s cheap. I know that this is an old design, that it has been around for years (at least since 2003), and that there are…

The Line 6 pedal board
To accelerate the building of the actual pedalboard, I purchased a used Line 6 Pedal Board from eBay. The price was right and I didn’t care about it working or not. I wanted the metal frame and the switches. This is a solid chunck of metal! Looking inside, you can see three printed circuit boards…

The goal of the main project, if you remember, is to be able to connect all devices, including computers, to the instruments and midi interfaces. I chose to use Processing (www.processing.org) to control how the computer(s) communicate with the…

This particular board is less than half the size of the standard Arduino. You need a special cable…

Arduino Music Controller – Part 1
The project evolves around an Arduino micro-controller. I use the Duemilanove because that’s the one i had on hand. It would work with any Arduino or Arduino-compatible board. Whatever is available and cheap. They sell for less than 30$. The Arduino will let you transfer midi data through it’s digital outputs, but to simplify things,…
