ArduinoPlays was a YouTube channel that I made that uploaded piano/Arduino covers of songs, primarily videogame music(VGM).
History
I started ArduinoPlays with the idea that I would convert midis and play them using the PlayTune library by LenShustek.
This began shortly after my 14th birthday, in April of 2014.
I mostly found midis off freemidi.org and other random sources via google and would just convert and film them as I had time.
After making about 10 covers and amassing a grand total of like 200 views I started running into an issue:
- I got really into Geometry dash but none of the songs I liked had midi files.
Inspiration to Start Composing
I found a channel that made medleys of geometry dash songs called Tectic (videos have since been deleted but the channel remains up). I credit this channel entirely with my foray into music.
His covers were much better than the others and a level of creative freedom was taken with them that made them fun to listen to.
I downloaded a few of his midis and played them in a piano visualizing program I had bootlegged called Synthesia.
At this point, I decided to film the output and upload it to youtube for those who couldn't read sheet music (like me) in case they wanted to learn how to play these tracks on the piano visually. In several places on his channel, Tectic mentioned he used a software called NoteWorthy Composer.
