Just wanted to mention that this product comes as a KIT and needs to be compounded. Also you will need USB cable for this product. Product works great when someone compounds it together.

Fantastic

For Stand for LE STRUM

This case makes the Le Strum look even more beautiful and mysterious. Like a Burroughsian pop art typewriter that would feature in the background of an early Batman comic.

Fantastic bit of kit and seller really helpful.

I got this a few weeks ago and have been using it constantly since. I also have a Kenton midi thru 5 so it's easy to compare. I like the fact this thing runs off 5v USB power, making it ultra portable with my Korg volcas and Electribe which all run on batteries. These together with a pocket 8000 mah battery = ultra portable midi music. The metranome is another cool feature again for things like the Korg volcas. It also has SIX midi outs... Surly enough for anyone on the go.

Really happy with this and I have already recommended this item on several synth forums.

Amazing!

Amazing little device. Pulled together all my devices and really completed my studio setup. Thanks!

truely great products

I've been using the midiSplit along with one of jasons midiHubs, both have enabled me to get away from computer sequencing and jam freely with my midi gear, i use jasons products with the korg volca range, roland tr707,tr505,dr110, doepfer darktime + 2xdark energyMK1. all works perfectly. I will always highly recommend these products.

Great Firmware Update of Arpie

For ATMega328 chip with ARPIE firmware

With the new Feature of gated chords, the Arpie is any more useful. And Arpie was already very useful before. Delivery to Germany was very fast. The Arpie-Update by changing the IC is a great service, because I do not know the other way. Thank you very much. You do a great Job. Andreas

Fantastic piece of kit!!

Really enjoyed putting this together, and the results are great. Stick it into a non-arp synth and breathe new life into it! The DX7 sounds amazing with this box, which has so many great features. Review Image

ARPIE - Lovely Machine : )

Really lovely machine.
Fast delivery, so easy to assamble. All working like a charm!
Thanks a lot for this perfect kit

Patrick | March 8, 2015

Great

For Case for ARPIE

I love the look of the skeletal Arpie but now with this simple lasercut case I can take it on tour with my black metal band without worrying about a stray globbet of Red Stripe getting in the electronics.

AMAZING!

For ATMega328 chip with ARPIE firmware

The Arpie was already fantastic. The new firmware additions make it even more useful, especially (for me) accent, chord gating and the ability to pitch patterns up and down as they play. TBH I'm not sure what competition it has but this must be the best hardware arpeggiator of all time!

Patrick | Feb. 26, 2015

Does What It Says

This does one thing and does it well. A simple to build kit that splits MIDI as it should in a compact form factor.

Cameron | Feb. 22, 2015

I love this device... It's beautiful and fierce.

For LE STRUM - MIDI Strummed Chord Controller Kit

Don't hesitate this is the best arpeggiator EVER made... and the new V4 firmware only makes it better. Way better than the simple arpeggiators that are built in to most hardware synths. A moveable feast of arpeggiating joy... for ALL your MIDI modules and keyboards.

Build instructions are very well written and easy to follow.

Cameron | Feb. 22, 2015

Pocket Omni-Chord for any MIDI synth... Ahh!! So Nice.

Even iPad obsessed children take a break to give it a go. Does exactly what it needs to do... If you want to strum your synthetic sounds and play like an angel, you need LeStrum.

This is a very simple and well documented build.

Meng | Feb. 19, 2015

Awesome

For LE STRUM - Hack-it-yourself model (PCB + PIC)

Seller is an overall amazing dude, and he also opensourced his designes on line.
The Le Strum is a very completely designed omnichord type midi controller.
Big ups! ;)

Jan | Jan. 30, 2015

Very good !

I like the 6-way MIDI Thru and Metronome Module very much. Beside the fact it´s very well build and quite simple to use and understand you get a lot of features for a very reasonable price. I don´t think there is something comparative on the market at the moment.

Paul | Jan. 27, 2015

MidiHub just great!

I only stumbled across this when I read about someone raving about it on synthtopia, saying that it was the best midi controller. He is not wrong. This is just great at what it does. I use it to trigger two ipad sequencers and my old midi hardware. I even use it with my Mac DAW. everything just works perfectly. Having so much fun using this.

Ainis | Jan. 4, 2015

Amazing Stuff!

Thanks for awesome module!!

Arvid | Dec. 28, 2014

Absolutely fantastic!

For PIC Chip With Firmware (STRUM/SWITCHER/ARPIE)

This well-built (and beautiful!) little thingy has made synchronizing synthesizer jam sessions a breeze. Highly recommended! Review Image

Laurens | Dec. 19, 2014

PIC for Le Strum

The ordered PIC came with firmware for Le Strum. It is the last part for a DIY version of the MIDI-Controller. Everything works as expected. Thanks for this open source utility!

Andrew | Nov. 23, 2014

Great product, great service

My Arpie arrived quickly with good communication from the seller. Instructions were easy to follow and everything worked first time. I had a little trouble working out how to get the external sync going, but got it all working once I RTFM.

The Arpie is a nifty little box that does what it says it does and is very much worth the cheap price plus a 1-2 hours to put it together. I really enjoyed building this and am looking forward to many nights of arpeggiated fun!

One wishlist item for future revisions: I know the Arpie is explicitly monophonic, but if there aren't hardware limitations it would be good to see a future revision with polyphonic chord playback (called "trigger" mode on my microKorgXL) where the input notes are played back all at once, according to the defined pattern.

Response from Sixty Four Pixels | Nov. 23, 2014

Aha! poly gate mode is in the works.. I am working on a firmware update that adds this feature along with a lot of other goodies :) watch this space

Johan | Nov. 18, 2014

5/5 really great product!

These are so great, I have now bought three of them!
It's easy to build and have never failed me.

Buy and support:-)

Alex | Nov. 13, 2014

Excellent!

Does its job flawlessly, very useful thing to have around at a very fair price. Recommended!

Mahir | Sept. 20, 2014

Absolutely great product!

MidiSplit is extremely easy to assemble product and works as it should, a great little simple gear.

Shipped in a tiny, sturdy box with all the parts inside secured correctly.

Instructions are clear and easy to follow. I am an experienced solderer but I believe people with no experience with soldering can easily complete the task with a little care and research before starting the assembly. All you need to do is read the instructions twice.

Board is pretty and sockets are in good quality. If you can solder the sockets correctly, they won't budge at all when you plug/unplug.

Round board design and layout is very cute but not that practical in use; when you start adding cables it becomes hard to route the cable neatly and also it starts to take too much space.. BUT!..

...it is so darn cute that you won't even be bothered with it. It looks like something you got to eat! Midi cookie! :D

I already got my eye on the Arpeggio from the same builder, I might pull the trigger for that soon.. :)

Highly recommended.

Cormac | Sept. 11, 2014

Great, simple to use midi splitter.

Great communication from the seller. Simple clear instructions included. Should go together very easily even with basic soldering skills. Had it up and running in about an hour.

Works a treat. Can connect all my older gear without worrying about the lack of midi-thru ports. Flashing leds always a bonus!

Highly recommended.

Aaron | Sept. 8, 2014

Great product, easy to build, love it.

It worked the first time, and was simple to put together. I would definitely buy it again. It's such a bargain. If you've ever soldered a board, it is easy as pie. Go for it!

Peter | Aug. 18, 2014

excellent device

For LE STRUM - Hack-it-yourself model (PCB + PIC)

Very well designed device; the kit is really easy to make with sufficient and accurate instructions.
Works like a charm, I am even considering buying a second one to chain them!

Tim | July 20, 2014

An excellent and unique piece of kit!

I've always been interested in different ways of controlling my synths and when I saw Le Strum I knew I wanted one. Not having any soldering experience I bought a soldering kit and taught myself to solder. After doing a few practice kits I started on Le Strum.

By following the excellent and easy to follow instructions I was able to complete Le Strum without too much difficulty (although I did forget the Mode button and had to unsolder and resolver the battery holder to get it on). Powered up, Le strum is a lot of fun to play and gives you different ways of playing your synths and other musical devices.

I bought the PCB + PIC as I was so impressed by Le Strum and how others have modded it, I've decided to build my own Le Strum guitar (similar to the Guitarp). For the price and with next day delivery you can't go wrong. So wether it's the PCB + PIC or the full kit I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in it or just interested in controlling your gear in different ways. It's an awesome bit of kit and a lot of fun to build and play!

Pablo | July 3, 2014

A+

For LE STRUM - MIDI Strummed Chord Controller Kit

The person(s) who designed and packaged this did it with care and love for what he/she does. Feels great to receive this.
Small package (cheap shipping), easy to solder, great instructions, AWESOME wiki (further hacks are encouraged). Comes with printed intuitive manual so you can get LE Strumming right away!

Craig | June 9, 2014

Jam session essential

Works great. Easy to use.
My friends and I use a couple of those for our equipment. Without it a good sync is nearly impossible!

Mark | May 27, 2014

Arpie is Ace.

My first kit, although I've circuit bent a Roland drum machine before. Excellent instructions, everything clearly labelled and easy to construct. Best of all, it worked, first time no problems.

Had time to play with it and it is amazing fun, I'm getting more musical enjoyment from this than my Doepfer Dark Time sequencer, I may buy a second one for more arpegiator based fun.

Christian | May 21, 2014

Very good - I suppose

As an an absolute beginner in soldering, it was very easy to get it together, the how-to is very useful and easy to understand. unfortunately, at the first two or three joints, some solder got sucked in some holes, where it shouldn't go in yet...so now I am in need for a solder sucker for just some three holes and I can't get the thing runnig, altough everything else is done...(which was some fun, by the way!)
that's a bit frustrating, but my fault alone. will write a review, as soon i figured out, how to get that tin outta those holes...

Adam | May 3, 2014

Brilliant little device

For Hard Disk Motor Driver (TDA5144AT breakout)

Love it. Does what it sets out to do, and does it marvellously. Cheers!

Tine | April 16, 2014

great product and your service

I had problems with wiring and blow the circuit - mr Jason was very kind to arrange special price with next purchase
maybe there could be additional modul / optional with speed control and assembled wiring for people with less electronic knowlage
