more info on the sensor keyboard!!!(and a sketch...)

2002-02-01 by bakis Sirros

DIETER SAYS:

"So far we have no complete keyboard available but
only a few testing plates with pressure sensors and
loose potentiometers connected via wires. We are
waiting for the pc board so that we can built the the
first complete prototype of the keyboard. Probably the
case will not be ready for the Frankfurt fair and so
we will show the keyboard without case at the show.

(bakis:...will the sensorkeyb.  be in a form of a
module??it will fit inside an A100G6 rack??give us
some clues...) 

It will be probably a 19" 1HU or 2HU device that can
be placed below the A-100 frames. We will have to
discuss the details with our case manufacturer after
the Frankfurt show.
 
The sketch(GO TO THE PHOTOS SECTION!!) shows the basic
principle of the sensorkey. But it is very rough and
does not show the black and white key structure of the
plates and shows only a few keys (not the full 2
octave range). And the common outputs (common CV's and
Gates) and controls are still missing, as well as the
second sequencer LED for each key. The proportion is
not correct to (actually the plates are much smaller
compared to the knobs and sockets). It is only a very
rough sketch !"
 
Best regards

Don't mean to sound condescending, but it's sort of a poor man's rip-off of
the Serge TKB then, right?

hi les,
if you think that way...then ALL analog synthesizers
that came after the moog modular(just about
everything...that is)are ripp-offs of the moog
modular,right??(the same
vco's,vcf's,vca's,adsr's.....)the serge TKB is a
rip-off of the buchla touch keyboard???i don't think
that this is the case...dieter WANTED the sensor
keyboard to be cheaper than the(insanely
priced???)module from serge...also,this module won't
have only 16 steps,and it will feature a digital
sequencer and,maybe polyphony,and....other
things(??)....so,the differences with the TKB will be
many...
