RGB Backlit for modulation / pitch wheels
Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2014 3:40 am
Hi All,
I finished another project. This time I installed my own backlit for both wheels. My Solaris came with acrylic wheels (thank you John), but I decided not to order backlit for that and make something special by myself later.
Good news, all the tooling is already there, - there are 5mm holes for LEDs in correct positions already. Standard RGB LEDs fit ideally.
Have a look on the video, that's what I have implemented:

Current features are:
1. both wheels' positions can be scanned.
2. based on that information modulation wheel changes the color in the range from blue to red depending on the position.
3. pitch wheel now is static blue.
4. circuit recognize incoming MIDI clock (on hw midi port only)
5. based on that information mod wheel synced to 1/4, pitch wheel to bars.
