TOUCH manage for each essential ON THE KEYBOARD

Of all the musical instruments out there, the keyboard is among the worst for altering the pitch as well as timbre of private notes. Wind as well as stringed instruments can do this quickly in the hands of a skilled player, however outside the wheel as well as joystick controls of a few electronic keyboards, tickling the ivories implies the only thing you can truly modification about exactly how something seems is the volume.

TouchKeys wishes to put an end to this serious lack of dynamics offered on keyboard instruments. Basically, it turns every single essential on a keyboard into a multi-touch sensor, enabling any type of keyboardist to modification the pitch, filter, timbre, or any type of other parameter of their instrument just by moving their finger around on a key.

TouchKeys works by overlaying all the secrets on a keyboard with circuit boards that plug into a module hidden under the hood. These boards are studded with capacitive sensing points, enabling a computer to acknowledge where the player is touching each key, as well as modifying filters or volume for every essential independently.

The TouchKeys Kickstarter is providing a set to furnish a 25-key keyboard with these sensors for about $550. A significant cost tag, however ideally we’ll see this tech in genuine production keyboards in the future.
