Learn Audio Electronics with Arduino: Practical Audio Circuits with Arduino Control teaches the reader how to use Arduino to control analogue audio circuits and introduces electronic circuit theory through a series of practical projects, including a MIDI drum controller and an Arduino-controlled two-band audio equalizer amplifier.Learn Audio Electronics with Arduino provides all the theoretical knowledge needed to design, analyse, and build audio circuits for amplification and filtering, with additional topics like C programming being introduced in a practical context for Arduino control. The reader will learn how these circuits work and also how to build them, allowing them to progress to more advanced audio circuits in the future. Beginning with electrical fundamentals and control systems, DC circuit theory is then combined with an introduction to C programming to build Arduino-based systems for audio (tone sequencer) and MIDI (drum controller) output. The second half of the book begins with AC circuit theory to allow analogue audio circuits for amplification and filtering to be analysed, simulated, and built. These circuits are then combined with Arduino control in the final project – an Arduino-controlled two-band equalizer amplifier. Building on high-school physics and mathematics in an accessible way, Learn Audio Electronics with Arduino is suitable for readers of all levels. An ideal tool for those studying audio electronics, including as a component within other fields of study, such as computer science, human-computer interaction, acoustics, music technology, and electronics engineering.

In this book, learn how the Arduino can be used as a hardware MIDI controller for Juce audio synthesis plugins through a series of practical projects, including a MIDI drum controller and an Arduino MIDI controlled pattern sequencer plugin.The book provides all the theoretical knowledge needed to design, build and test simple audio control systems, with C++ programming being introduced in a practical context for Arduino control. This learning in C++ leads into audio plugin development using Juce, significantly extending the level of programming knowledge involved. In so doing, readers will learn how control circuits work and how to build them, alongside developing practical software audio plugins that will allow them to progress their learning beyond the scope of this book. This book begins by introducing basic electronic circuit theory and microcontroller programming through a series of practical projects that summarise the material covered in each chapter. Starting with electrical fundamentals and systems concepts, the book provides an introduction to C++ programming to build Arduino based control systems for MIDI output. The second half of the book uses the Juce framework for audio plugin development to teach the fundamentals of software synthesis. Basic audio plugins are used to introduce concepts like FM and wavetable synthesis, ADSR waveshaping and audio effects. These synthesis techniques are then extended to include data driven synthesis methods like sequencing and pattern recall, leading to the project of an Arduino MIDI controlled pattern sequencer plugin.Learn with Arduino and Juce is an accessible beginners guide for students in audio electronics, audio dsp software processing, computer science, HCI, acoustics, music technology, aspiring professionals and hobbyists interested in audio electronics, music technology and audio engineering.
