A new guide today in the Adafruit Learning System: Wireless BLE MIDI Robot Xylophone
This project converts a xylophone into a MIDI instrument, but not just any MIDI instrument: a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) MIDI instrument. This means that it can be setup within range of a Bluetooth connection and receive MIDI data without being tied down with a bunch of cables (besides power of course).
30 solenoids sit comfortably over the xylophone keys, waiting to strike up melodies and chords either live with a MIDI keyboard or playing along with MIDI data from a digital audio workstation (DAW). It has a lot of potential as either a live instrument or for some extra fun in the studio.
Everything you need to build your own is in the guide, including the code, circuit diagram, assembly instructions and some BLE MIDI tips and tricks.
