Custom-MIDI-Output-Element

This is an example that demonstrates how to extend the library using your own MIDI Output Elements. The example declares a MIDI Output Element that sends MIDI Note events when a push button is pressed or released. It's a simplified version of the NoteButton class.

Boards: 🛈
AVR, AVR USB, Due, Nano 33 IoT, Nano 33 BLE, UNO R4, Pi Pico, Teensy 3.x, ESP32

Connections

The internal pull-up resistor for the button will be enabled automatically.

Behavior

Mapping

Select the Arduino as a custom MIDI controller in your DAW, and use the MIDI learn option to assign the button to a function.
