Thanks xray303 for these wonderful release!

Today is the official release of the TeensyBoy.

What is a TeensyBoy ?
- It is simply a Arduinoboy on a Teensy 2.0.

What are the differences between Arduinoboy and TeensyBoy ?
- TeensyBoy is USB midi instead of classic Midi DIN connector, it doesn't need any driver just plus usb and it is recognized as a USB midi device

Is that all ?
- not exactly, Teensyboy is globally the same size as a Arduino Pro Mini ( so very small), more powerful than a Arduino Pro mini (doesn't change anything but it is easier to add new features), as it is Midi USB it need less components.

What are the difference in usability ?
- None, all Arduinoboy modes as been ported to work on the teensy, so usage is exactly the same.
The only difference is that there is no Max/MSP patch to configure it because it can be reconfigured with Arduino IDE directly with the USB

Arduinoboy mode available on Teensyboy :

1.LSDJ Slave :                     Working !
2. LSDJ Master:                   Working ! (tested with Ableton live 8)
3. LSDJ KEYBOARD mode: Working !
4. Nanoloop :                       Working ! (tested with nanoloop 1.6.3 demo)
5. mGB :                              Working !
6. LSDJ Midi Map :              Working !
7. LSDJ Midi Out :               Working !



How to build one ?
- Follow the schematics or cabling diagram, upload the code and that's it !
All infos available on : http://noizeinabox.blogspot.com/2013/08 … lease.html

The original code is from Trash80 the creator of ArduinoBoy, my part was to port it on Teensy and adapt for USB midi

Feel free to test it and don't hesitate to contact me if you see bugs or anything..

Pictures, code, etc.. available on the blog : http://noizeinabox.blogspot.ch/2013/08/ … lease.html
You can also look at this topic (it was made during the tests ): http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/11708 … code-help/

Thanks to Trash80, maniacfreakquency, NEX, little-scale and all chipmusicians

Regards,

xray303 aka noizeinabox

I downloaded the nanoloop 1.6.3 demo rom to test on my EMS64 cart  and it works (start, stop, bpm changes)  smile yeah.

So to recap :
1.LSDJ Slave :                     Working !
2. LSDJ Master:                   Working ! (tested with Ableton live 8)
3. LSDJ KEYBOARD mode: Working !
4. Nanoloop :                       Working ! (tested with nanoloop 1.6.3 demo)
5. mGB :                              Working !
6. LSDJ Midi Map :              Working !
7. LSDJ Midi Out :               Working !

It looks like that every Teensyboy mode is working,time for official release and start to make a small "shield" pcb.

Many thanks to Trash80 for the arduinoboy code, Maniacfreakquency for the tests  and all the chipmusic scene.
