Arduino MIDI Switcher

[ElectricDruid]

I agree with niektb, what I would develop is something to put between your TRS footswitches and the amp. Basically using the footswitches as an input to the arduino, and then sending the commands from the arduino to the amp via TRS emulating what the footswitches do.
This is going to be much easier to manage if you want both footswitches and MIDI to work at the same time.

I agree too, BUT ONLY in the case where the footswitches do something other than a momentary short-to-ground. For that particular situation, it's dead easy to have the footswitches and the MIDI-controlled transistors in parallel. You press a footswitch, it switches. You send a MIDI signal, a transistor goes on, it switches.

BUT, as I said, that does depend on the momentary, non-latching character of the footswitches, and that that's what the amp is expecting.

Overall, the footswitches-go-to-processor-then-processor-controls-amp set up is much more versatile, since it can deal with latching/momentary and normal/inverted polarity just by changing firmware.

Actually what I would do, is connect the TRS Footswitches to the microcontroller, you don't have to work out an ORing/ANDing mechanism
I don't think there is readily working code in this thread but sounds quite doable to roll it yourself
And I think you it doesnt matter if the switches are momentary or latching since you can work that out in software

Thank you for your feedback!
I've done just a couple very simple arduino programs over a year ago so was hoping to grab some existing code that is close and then edit it to my needs. I have no problem taking the time to re-learn it though so I will spend some time getting familiar again.
My concern with the latching toggles and footswitches is that the toggle or footswitch positions wont match the state of the relays(iow if the toggle is in the up/on position then you send MIDI command to turn it off the toggle is still up. All my other MIDI controlled devices do use momentary switches and it would be easy enough to swap them for momentary

Thank you for your reply!
Yes, indeed it would be ideal for the toggles, footswitch and MIDI to all work at the same time
So basically I would want the toggles and footswitches (they are parallel but toggles are disabled by the stereo jack when 1/4" plug is inserted) to connect straight to the arduino as digital inputs?
Then connect the return leg of the relay circuit to the outputs which will send that point to ground when activated?
If thats correct, then I just need to wrap my head around the programming which will take me a bit
Thanks again!

Thank you! The preamp currently has latching but it would not be hard to swap them out for momentary and it would make more sense now with MIDI and presets so I'll try that first.
Now that I have a better idea of what how to re-design the hardware I will breadboard this so I can start messing with the software before committing a new pcb design
Thanks again for your input!

I made a diagram over at https://wokwi.com/projects/330329978730185299

Basically its a 4 button footswitch, not sure if midi works but ive tested the circuit and with momuntary buttons its working fine, but I have only tried with the 8 relay board connecting IN pins to LED pins, I have yet to test with normal DPDT relays.

I made a test bench so I could test it out yesterday which i've added pictures

Here is the code to make it more simple, would love to get feedback also as this is my first sketch with arduino

Thanks Guys

If you're using MIDI on an AVR with one HW serial you can't use the standard Serial at the same time, it's either/or.

Also, you're only debouncing pin 5, not the other inputs? Probably no problem right now but you might see a flurry of CC's coming past.
Might be that I don't understand your switches, pin 5 is the toggle (for boost) and the others are momentary pushbuttons?

[potul]

Yep, the Serial begin sentence should be removed, the UART will already be initialized by the MIDI instance

On the other hand... you are doing debouncing on pin 5 only, and it's not clear to me what this button does.

[acatlow]

oh apologies, i should update the code already, I changed this to midi create default instance without any custom midiout or serial

but i want to edit the code to be more like this

clean channel 1 toggle (k2 relay 1 = high, relay 2 = low) switches green led
gain channels 2/3 toggle (k4 relay 1 = low, relay 2 = low / relay 1 = low , relay 2 = high)  switches between bicolour blue red led)
boost channel toggle (k7 relay, can turn on or off independently across all channels)

anybody can help me with this?

Hi all,

Thought I'd share with you all that I managed to finish my version which I've currently fit into a Peavey 2 button footswitch, that I drilled out the middle hole to add the third monument switch.

I emailed potul, who confirmed with me that my issue wasn't in the code itself but the wokwi diagram code, so thanks potul for the confirmation.

the next thing I will be doing is adding the oled display menu to show visually what channel is currently active etc

here is the simulation of the code

Nice,

just a comment: you are using the MIDI library but not using the sendControlChange() function and instead you are accessing Serial directly. Any reason for that?

In my tests when trying to use the switches to change the channels, it actually wasn't working at all and I was scratching my head wondering what exactly was happening... and also because this was my first or second sketch, I'm not exactly proficient in coding at all...

but I wanted to be able to use standalone switch functions without a midi footswitch, if I decide to incorporate it into an amp pcb design, and as the other way wasn't working, I got a little creative

Not sure if I get the point. My question was regarding using this:

Code Select Expand

  Serial.write(0xB0 | midi_channel); // CC message
  Serial.write(c); // number
  Serial.write(v); // value

When you could use this:

Code Select Expand


MIDI.sendControlChange(c,v,0xB0 | midi_channel);


[Sweetalk]

When you could use this:

Code Select Expand


MIDI.sendControlChange(c,v,0xB0 | midi_channel);


Just a little correction, you have to use midi_channel directly, like this:

Code Select Expand


MIDI.sendControlChange(c, v, midi_channel);


[potul]

Just a little correction, you have to use midi_channel directly, like this:

Code Select Expand


MIDI.sendControlChange(c, v, midi_channel);


oops, yes you are right. ... I just copy-pasted without thinking.

[acatlow]

just tested that and it works, Thanks!!

[acatlow]

So I've tested 100% and although a little clunky with switching, its pretty cool and I have a good base to work from...

I've made a custom PCB for it with OLEDand its working great, but I decided to change it a little to add MIDI in and MIDI out from headers to save space with the PCB

Here is the current PCB with the sketch working...

I have some comments on your switch handling code. But first a small stylistic suggestion:
You have the following code:

Code Select Expand


sw2Push++;
if (sw2Push > 1){sw2Push = 0;}
But as the values can only change between 1 and 0, you might as well write the following which is a bit cleaner:

Code Select Expand

sw2Push = !sw2Push;
or even (but the first suggestion is better I think):

Code Select Expand

sw2Push ^= 1;

But now the major part: I'm a bit confused about your delays in the switch case statement. Doesnt this code mean that you will always have a 200ms delay when the sw1Push is '1'?

Code Select Expand

break;
delay(200);
case 1:

Also, about this code piece:

Code Select Expand

  if (c == 85 && v >64) {
    //Channel CC MSG
    display.setTextSize(2);
    display.setCursor(0, 20);
    display.println("CLEAN   ");
    display.setTextSize(1);
    display.setTextColor(WHITE, BLACK);
    display.setCursor(90, 50);
    display.print("CC:");
    display.setTextSize(1);
    display.setCursor(110, 50);
    display.print(c);
    display.display();
    digitalWrite(LED1,HIGH);
    digitalWrite(LED2,LOW);
    digitalWrite(LED3,LOW);
    digitalWrite(LED4,LOW);
    digitalWrite(RELAY1,HIGH);
    digitalWrite(RELAY2,LOW);
    digitalWrite(RELAY3,LOW);
    digitalWrite(RELAY4,LOW);
  }
I assume you want people to be able to switch channel whilst playing a song. I'm not sure how fast the display responds (and also the code calculating the graphics) but I'd rather not find out that it delays a bit and switches channels too late. So I would advice to fírst have the digitalWrite(RELAYx, ...) statements and thén run the display code

Thanks for the reply niektb,

none of your suggestions for sw2Push actually worked. I need to change between channels and your way didnt "Go back to first case switch" so to speak... and I was still not sure about adding additional case switches to the buttons, which all i need to do is change the value from 1 to 3 for example...

I changed the digitalwrite functions to the start of the CC function, before the display message, but it wouldn't make a difference as there is no delay.

I did correct the delays in between the breaks though...

the delays were because the pads were too sensitive but I managed to figure out it was due to INPUT_PULLUP which i just needed to change the switches to LOW instead of HIGH and they aren't as sensitive anymore.

Here i've updated my code

Thanks for the reply niektb,

none of your suggestions for sw2Push actually worked. I need to change between channels and your way didnt "Go back to first case switch" so to speak... and I was still not sure about adding additional case switches to the buttons, which all i need to do is change the value from 1 to 3 for example...

I changed the digitalwrite functions to the start of the CC function, before the display message, but it wouldn't make a difference as there is no delay.

I did correct the delays in between the breaks though...

the delays were because the pads were too sensitive but I managed to figure out it was due to INPUT_PULLUP which i just needed to change the switches to LOW instead of HIGH and they aren't as sensitive anymore.

Here i've updated my code

[...]

Hmm weird, it should definitely work:

The not (!) operator returns either 0 or 1, depending on whether the input is non-zero or 0 respectively.

from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21056180/c-not-operator-applied-to-int

I changed the digitalwrite functions to the start of the CC function, before the display message, but it wouldn't make a difference as there is no delay.

I wouldn't expect the delays to be thát big to instantly noticeably but maybe during a song.
I have not performed any measurements but you could https://www.tutorialspoint.com/calculate-time-of-operation-in-arduino

I'm just a little worried if the display will álways respond in-time. What if the i2c bus is very noisy or the power supply? (dunno where all the amps will be used but power won't be as clean as in the lab) doing the digital writes first eliminates the dependence on external hardware
