sorry man, wasnt trying to be a dick....
No man I've been up and down about school a lot. It was just you kinda reinforced the thought. And i go to the art institute for audio production. The facilities are very nice and my teachers are really passionate. But yeah. I'm thinking this is more of a hobby than a career. I wasnt being sarcastic at all haha sorry if it came off that way! I really do bump the mixtape.

Good luck on this project and on your future education.
]]>might be a silly question, but arent you supposed to learn how to do this in midi class ?
This post really has done a number on me. After I read this, I seriously had to take a step back to think of what I've learned at this school for audio production. All I've really learned is to find the resources myself to crunch last minute projects for classes that weren't actually taught to the class. I'm paying an awfully large amount to attend this school, and I am reading from 7 or 8 instructables, tutorials, blogs, etc. that are on the internet for free. I will most likely switch majors in the near future. Thanks Downstate. I bump your mixtape a lot.
]]>Downstate, somewhat ironically, the questions that the original poster is asking are very well documented on the net and don't need to be asked on a chip forum!
yeah, but that would require using google.

Then the following code should give you some ideas.
I haven't tried out any of these. YMMV.
byte MIDI_pitch[] = {60,62,63,65,67,69,71,72}; // value of MIDI pitch to associate with button
byte MIDI_velocity[] = {127,127,127,127,127,127,127,127}; // value of MIDI velocity to associate with button
byte MIDI_channel[] = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}; // value of MIDI channel to associate with button
byte previous[8]; // place to store previous data byte for comparison
byte current; // place to store current data byte for comparison
void setup() { // let's begin..
Serial.begin(57600); // open serial port
pinMode(2, INPUT); // set pin mode of button to input
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // activate internal Arduino resistor
pinMode(3, INPUT); // set pin mode of button to input
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // activate internal Arduino resistor
pinMode(4, INPUT); // set pin mode of button to input
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // activate internal Arduino resistor
pinMode(5, INPUT); // set pin mode of button to input
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // activate internal Arduino resistor
pinMode(6, INPUT); // set pin mode of button to input
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // activate internal Arduino resistor
pinMode(7, INPUT); // set pin mode of button to input
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // activate internal Arduino resistor
pinMode(8, INPUT); // set pin mode of button to input
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // activate internal Arduino resistor
pinMode(9, INPUT); // set pin mode of button to input
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // activate internal Arduino resistor
} // end of the beginning
void loop() { // let's loop...
for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
current = digitalRead(i+2); // read the current state of the button
if(current != previous[i]) { // compare the current state of the button to previous state
previous[i] = current; // if it's change, store the current for future comparison
Serial.write(0x90 + MIDI_channel[i]); // send MIDI status byte for note on event
Serial.write(MIDI_pitch[i]); // send MIDI data byte for pitch component
Serial.write((1 - current) * MIDI_velocity[i]); // send MIDI data byte for velocity component
} // end if
delay(10); // debounce
}
} // end loop
