    If you ever decide to make a V2 of this, consider putting the components on a Flat Flex PCB and bond it to the card with some epoxy or resin with some cutouts for the components to fit through in the PCB substrate itself. This will make the overall thickness much more uniform and protect the components from being knocked off during normal use. You might also consider a USB OTG controller instead and a flip-out USB-C and some storage so you can plug it into your phone and play it that way.

      You can do that on a midi keyboard. Just hit another note before you release the first and if you have set up the instrument correctly it will portamento just like in this video. Obviously you could do some kind of programming magic to make instruments do crazy shit since you can't slide that easily with normal keys but AFAIK no one has done anything like that, probably because there isn't really a use for it.

    • @Morbuto
      @Morbuto Před 6 lety +25

      It "should" have been finished with "hard gold" plating rather than immersion gold (the immersion gold finish has a minuscule layer of gold on top of nickel, the hard gold finish is what is used on card edge connectors such as for extension cards on PCs). However, the setup cost of that would have been so high that it probably makes more sense to just keep a few PCBs in reserve for when they wear out, and most people that receive one as a business card would only use it for 5 minutes at best anyway.
