There are many wonderful synthesizers and electronic instruments in the world. And instruments and devices that support MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) can easily be played together.
I am making a simple MIDI controller device PRMC-1 for use in electronic music performances using PicoRuby/R2P2 (Ruby Rapid Portable Platform). I can adjust the synthesizer parameters by turning the knobs, or play chords as arpeggios with the sequencer function. The hardware is made with Raspberry Pi Pico, M5Stack Unit 8Angle and Unit MIDI, and no soldering.
All code is written in Ruby! Would you like to create your own musical device using Ruby?
