3. Making noise

Now that you have soldered your MIDI Madness Maker (and maybe done the software setup too) it’s time to test it and make some noise! The microcontroller is pre-programmed with the code example ‘MIDI_madness_BLE_keyboard_and_Tone.ino’ so it should bleep when you touch the touch pins. If you want the bleeps to be louder, you can plug in a speaker in the audio jack.

The microcontroller is also programmed as a Bluetooth keyboard, so if you download the following apps to your phone/tablet, and look for the name of your MIDI Madness Maker, you should be able to use it right away!

Android: download SynprezFM II and MIDI BLE Connect Apple: download Garageband (and Bluetooth MIDI Connect if needed)

If you want a different code example - ask Michelle! All of the code can be installed via her computer during the workshop. After the workshop, you can do it yourself :)
