SevenMileMountain - MIDI Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels
"A dedicated Pitch Bend / Modulation controller with traditional wheels. This unit connects via USB to your MIDI devices, allowing you to add Pitch Bend to synths which lack them.
The wheels are about the same width as a full sized piano key (just shy of 1"). The left wheel, Pitch Bend, is spring loaded, so it returns to center when released. The right wheel, Modulation, does not automatically return to center. Both have their center points marked with a raised tab.
The wheels are enclosed in a cube 2.5" square (65 mm) and will appear as "Seeed XIAO M0" in your DAW. As it's programmed specifically as PB/MD, no other setup should be required.
As of August 30, 2024:
More Colors: I'm back to making both black and white versions of the wheel.
New Firmware: Better handling of PB deadzone and ranging. All prior purchases can be updated at no cost.
As of April 12, 2024:
Now available in All Black.
Top cover has been simplified.
Further improvements with the wheels and mechanisms.
As of February 20, 2024:
The Pitch Bend wheel now has a new mechanism. It is much "snappier" than before. The wheel now rolls on a ball bearing and uses low physical resistance sensor, allowing the spring to provide quicker "return to center" power.
All WHEELs now include TRS MIDI. This allows connections to legacy keyboards (DIN-5) with a simple adapter (sold separately). It is a 3.5mm (1/8") Type A TRS jack (aka "headphone cable") wired to the MIDI 2018 Standard. If you use Serial MIDI you will still need to supply power via the USB connection. The device outputs USB MIDI and Serial MIDI at the same time.
The MIDI Channel can be changed (from 1 to 16) using a settings button on the back. The default Channel is 1.
Firmware can now be updated in the field. I can tweak settings and send you custom code to run on your device.
