In this tutorial, learn how to create captivating LED visualizations that synchronize with your piano playing. Watch as we guide you through the step-by-step process of integrating LEDs with your piano using an Arduino Due microcontroller. Links to materials down below.
Discover how to capture the piano's input, whether through MIDI or audio, and process it to control the LED behavior. We'll explore different techniques to make the LEDs react to the intensity, pitch, or other parameters of the notes played on the piano.
No prior electronics or programming experience is required. We'll explain the concepts in a beginner-friendly manner, making it easy for anyone to follow along and create their own mesmerizing piano-LED light show.

Materials used in this tutorial:
- WS2812B LED Strips 144 LEDS 2m
- Arduino Uno, Leonardo, or Due microcontroller
- MIDI to USB cable (or audio-to-MIDI converter)
- Dupont/Jumper wires
- USB Extender (optional)
QUICK disclaimer, when you buy an LED strip that is 144, make sure to get a Leonardo or Due as your microcontroller to have the sufficient processing power. Using Uno for 144 will cause a noticeable delay.
I recommend these instead:
- WS2812B LED Strips 144 LEDS 2m
- Arduino Leonardo
- MIDI to USB cable (or audio-to-MIDI converter)
- Dupont/Jumper wires
