Custom-MIDI-Sender

This is an example that demonstrates how to extend the library using your own MIDI Senders. It implements functionality similar to the built-in DigitalNoteSender class, but with support for different on and off velocities.

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.

// A custom sender to use later. It has to declare two methods:
// - sendOn(MIDIAddress): will be called when the button is pressed
// - sendOff(MIDIAddress): will be called when the button is released
// Other types of senders need to implement different methods.
// For example, a continuous CC sender just has a send(value, address)
// method.
class CustomNoteSender {
public:
CustomNoteSender(uint8_t onVelocity, uint8_t offVelocity)
: onVelocity(onVelocity), offVelocity(offVelocity) {}
void sendOn(MIDIAddress address) {
Control_Surface.sendNoteOn(address, onVelocity);
}
void sendOff(MIDIAddress address) {
Control_Surface.sendNoteOff(address, offVelocity);
}
private:
uint8_t onVelocity, offVelocity;
};
// Now tell the MIDIButton class template (included with the Control
// Surface library) that it has to use your custom sender class.
//
// We wrap it in another class so we can easily construct it later,
// without having to write `MIDIButton<CustomNoteSender>` all the time,
// and so we have more control over the constructor arguments.
// The colon (:) indicates inheritance.
struct CustomNoteButton : MIDIButton<CustomNoteSender> {
// Constructor
CustomNoteButton(pin_t pin, MIDIAddress address, uint8_t onVelocity,
uint8_t offVelocity)
: MIDIButton(pin, address, {onVelocity, offVelocity}) {}
// ^~~~~~~~~~ Initialization of the base class MIDIButton
};
// Now we can instantiate an object of our custom class.
// The four arguments match the ones of the CustomNoteButton
// constructor we wrote a couple of lines back.
CustomNoteButton button {
5, // button pin
MIDI_Notes::C[4], // MIDI address
0x40, // on velocity
0x10, // off velocity
