I think your keyboard is more fun than traditional keyboards, with more note-like expressions. With the design of the program, there will be more and more functions. I also plan to make such a keyboard myself and learn from you
This is amazing!!! I think you're superman!! Would you consider building me a 65 key mini controller with a graded hammer keybed with the touch response as you displayed in your project????
Hello, I love your works and want to build a keyboard like this. I have a qusetion is what is the theory behind the sensor? Connect a wire to anolog input on Arduino board each key, and the voltage will go up and down when the sensor is pressed or not, do I understand it right?
@@ShIH2701 No, these are not analog, but rather capacitive sensors. You can use a Teensy board to make them (Teensy LC is the cheapest) by connecting a single cable for each. Then use the boards USB MIDI connection to connect to your synth
@@KontinuumLABthanks for your answer! Your answer help me a lot. And I have another question. Will there be any difference between using Arduino pro micro and teensy board? Because it will be a little bit hard to get a teensy board in where I live, so I still don't really know which is the best choice.
Thank you so much for sharing knowledge! I'm poor, I'm going to buy a broken keyboard and adapt it for Arduino. I love doing trap and bombap / rap beats
Hi Mark. Not the code for this specific project, but the keyboard that we make in my workshops is very similar. Code for that is here: github.com/KontinuumLab/Workshops/tree/master/KontinuumLabMAKES_CapKeyboard_dec19 And here is the build video: czcams.com/video/YdA1xqggO5M/video.html
If you can give me any tips on what I need to do to control velocity. Or better, if you can make a video transforming a keyboard without midi (like psr 79, CSR 558 and more... ) into midi, it would be incredible
I can't help you with those keyboards, sorry. I like to build my instruments from scratch. But I will say this: To control velocity from an analog or capacitive sensor, you need to make 2 measurements in quick succession, and then calculate the increase in the second measurement. A bigger difference between first and second measurements means more velocity. It's an interesting topic, and I will make a video about it some time soon.
This keyboard outputs MIDI over USB. If you want to add old-school MIDI cables, then sure it's possible, with some extra code and circuits. I'd rrecommend starting here: www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_MIDI.html Happy making!
Hey I m appreciating your keyboard which is like a masterpiece! Can I get the schematic design?I m wondering the way how the copper tape connect to the MCU.Thanks!
Thanks! The sensors are connected using a multiplexer, but this is an old design, and I don't remember exactly what pins I used for what... You should check out this later version: czcams.com/video/YdA1xqggO5M/video.html The link to the code for that is in the description, and that will show you what pins are used. Also, if you like this keyboard, then you will love the latest iteration: czcams.com/video/pUrFqCCAZSg/video.html
Dude your channel is underrated!
Thanks! Tell your friends ;)
@@KontinuumLAB already done

Thanks for watching. Best of luck with your projects
Beautiful!
Mega badass - nice work!
Thanks!
great. awesome. EXCELLENT!
Thanks!

@@ShIH2701 yes, the pro micro does not have on board capacitive sensors, so you'd have to get an external sensor, like the MPR121 or similar

Hey. Did u leave the code somewhere?.. seems like a cool project

@@KontinuumLAB alright, thanks I'm from Brazil, continue with the videos thank you so much for the content baaaaai haha
gr8 vid,, plis shre your code and the exact connection plizzz
Thanks! This is an old project. Here's a later version, which has a link to the code in the description: czcams.com/video/YdA1xqggO5M/video.html
Great video. 1+ sub
Thanks Gabriel!
Is it possible to add midi output?
