"Hi, I'm Doug, the course creator. After writing about building MIDI controllers on my blog, MIDI Lifestyle, I have received many comments & questions. This course will put you on the fast-track to building your own, custom MIDI instruments."

Learn To Build A MIDI Controller Without Getting Overwhelmed...EVEN If You Don't Know Circuitry

The reason I created the DIY MIDI Controller Course was to tear down the barrier that prevented non-technical musicians from building the MIDI controllers they desire.


To build our MIDI controllers, we will use the user-friendly, but incredibly powerful, Arduino. It's great for beginners and allows us to test our ideas incredibly fast.

In the course, I explain topics in a way that anyone,

with or without circuitry/programming experience,

can follow along.

So, Why Build A MIDI Controller?

  • Finally Be Able To Turn Your Ideas Into Reality:  Being able to have an idea, sketch it out, and construct your own MIDI instrument is a super power that many digital musicians wish they had. Anyone with a bit of patience can gain this skill. This course will take your from no knowledge to MIDI controller maestro!
  • Save Hundreds (If Not Thousands) Of Dollars Compared To Ordering A Custom Controller:  To pay a pro, you're looking at some high expenses. With a bit of practice, you can gain the skills you need to design and build your own MIDI controllers.
  • Learn Valuable Skills Along The Way:  Knowing how MIDI signals work and being able to construct any MIDI controller you desire introduces you to an entirely new side of the electronic music world - the technical side. Using this new-found knowledge you can take your music to the next level.
  • Make Side Income Selling Your Finished Controllers & Services: There's a lot of demand for custom MIDI controllers, especially with DJs and live performers. Selling your creations or services is a great way to build a second income stream as a musician. No need to be a starving artist!
