[Tutorial] Making PIANO KEYBOARD with LM555 IC

Hi everyone, today I will guide you how to make a powerful piano keyboard with LM555 IC. OK let's go!

Piano keyboard description
Here we will show how to build a piano keyboard which generate simple electronic keyboard musical notes DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA, SI, DO1 and RE1, as shown in the following diagram (keyboard piano).

Piano keyboard operation circuit
This circuit has a piano keyboard wave generator essentially comprises a 555 which operates as an astable multivibrator circuit. This type of operation is characterized by an output square wave of width defined by the designer. The outgoing wave frequency can be controlled by the resistor is connected between pins 7-8 and 2-7 in addition to the capacitor connected to pin 2 grounded. The resulting frequency can be calculated under the following equation.
Where R eq is the result according to the push button is pressed on the keyboard piano.


Therefore we can in our piano keyboard similar sound of an electronic organ basic shape regulating the output frequency to musical notes


NOTE FREQUENCY RESISTANCE R eq
RE1 493Hz R2-R3
DO1 440Hz R2-R4
392Hz IF R2-R5
THE 349Hz R2-R6
SOL 329Hz R2-R7
FA 293Hz R2-R8
MI 261Hz R2-R9
RE 246Hz R2-R10
DO 200Hz R2-R11
