MidiMood

Minimoog inspired MIDI Control Surface

MidiMoodFrontSmall

MidiMood is a MIDI Control Surface inspired by the synth classic Minimoog. It runs on an atmega32U4 (in this case a cheap Pro Mirco Arduino Leonardo clone) and has 26 Potmeters, 11 switches and an LED. Connected to an iPad and running the Minimoog app, one has a cheap version of a Minimoog. The design is inspired by Gustavo Silveira's 2019 midimood, see

The code included in the rep runs on tttapa (Pieter P)'s wonderfully powerful Control Surface, https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface This library (platform) is incredibly powerful, but at the same time very resource consuming. The MidiMood hardware contains a lot of stuff that cannnot be accomodated for in the memory space available on a Pro Micro.

Features
