Controlling Cubase with Arduino based MIDI

Controlling Cubase with Arduino based MIDI

Step 1What you need

What you need
Normally open push buttons (one for every action you want to perform like these)
10K-Ohm resistor (one for every button)
Arduino with a good solid 5V. I had to externally power mine (I'm using the bare-bones version running Diecimila) get it here
Solderless breadboard (like this one)
MIDI jack (you only need one, since all you're doing is sending like a dis)
220-Ohm resistor (for the MIDI jack)
Computer running Cubase or some other recording software
MIDI Cable (here's a 20'er)
You may need a USB to MIDI input, I have used and liked, this one, and this one
