This is a cool idea, but you can switch between major, minor, chromatic and pentatonic scales so the interval between notes changes depending on how many there are so having fixed clicks wouldn't work in that case.

I am very lucky in this regard, my partner is amazing indeed! Most of the work was at night, so I hopefully didn't disrupt her too much.

Ah the Cloudflare outage has hit my form!

I've been reflecting on this a bit. I found it very useful to have a well-defined project and focus the learning time on things that are necessary for completing it. Having a background in coding was useful because I find you end up developing a knack for isolating parts of systems and figuring out how to work on small parts that end up fitting together.

I therefore focused initially on simply getting readings from a single potentiometer; if I could do that then I felt pretty confident I could read from four of them. If I could generate a midi message I was pretty confident I could send it to something that could read it etc.

When I started on the PCB design I had a simple circuit already so it was a case of translating that onto a board.

I didn't get too deep into any of the various parts but I found that it gave me a birds-eye view of the whole process and I now feel confident in isolating parts of them and 'zooming in' to them and refining them, building on the foundation I've developed.

Thanks, I've responded :)

Thank you!

I didn't know that was a thing - I'm going to look into it.

I trained as a classical guitarist, so I maintain some longer nails on my right hand :)

This sounds like a lesson I’m going to be learning the hard way
