Thanks for this useful info! I had been wondering about speed-limiting factors, reading threads like backlit by a 5mm LED. Wink

Also, because I'll be backlighting every button and adding the lo ...

OK, I've been studying crazy keyboard layouts like the one by [url=http://improvise.free.fr/bosanquet/bosanquet.html]Bosanquet or the "[url=http://www.c-thru-music.com/cgi/?page=layout]Harmonic T ...

I was talking about the LEDs; the buttons are no problem. I found a few threads elsewhere of projects that used the MAX7221 for 7 color matrices, so I'd want a chip like that, but with PWM on the DIG ...

You could use regular outputs driven from a timer interrupt and do your own pwm in software (although 16 mega colors might be a bit over the edge you still could have a lot). Multiplexing pwm seems to ...

Okay, after my last failed idea, I thought I'd try something a bit more realistic. SparkFun has a nice kit now for building 4x4 arrays of tactile RGB-backlit buttons. I can imagine that having 7 col ...

I just realized that the monome is stupidly simple compared to what I was planning, and I could save a few Benjamins by building one from scratch, let alone the fact that I'd be able to program the de ...

OK, so it was a silly idea. I've decided to get a monome kit and see where that takes me. It's probably for the best, because I really have quite little experience with electronics, regardless of th ...

EDIT: Wait, woah, $50 a key? Maybe I should reconsider my options..

I was just about to write something like that Wink

there is a cheaper alternative ... an ordinary LCD screen with a touch in ...

Well, I have a crazy idea: a big (4x4, 4x8, 8x8), programmable matrix of these LCD buttons, similar to a monome device that I can use for everything from MIDI apps to funky games. (funky MIDI games?) ...

Hee hee, this was in MIDI interfaces previously, now where it should be:

I am very very interested in these little beauties and want to know if anyone has any further info on them, as I haven't bee ...

Has anyone experimented with various keyboard layouts (piano, wicki, janko) on the Lemur? How responsive is it, and is it awkward to plink out a melody on a touch screen?

OK, well...

PD is a very interesting language, which is another way of saying that it has taken me a bit of time to get used to this kind of graphical programming environment based on dataflow and ...

Hi,

I've recently gained interest in generalized keyboards and microtuning alike, although my music theory is pretty sparse. After some research the best I can make out is that the different note ...
