Keyboard midi controller

Design Concepts
1

Dear friends,

Maybe some one could help me with advice how to make a 3 octave capacitive keyboard using MB platform.

Something like EMS, EDP or Buchla type keyboards.

All I need is 32 flat capacitive keys, 2 keys for octave switching and an encoder for midichanel selection.

And I wish it’ll be USB powered and USB midi.

Sorry for my English.

Hiya MrTorsionTorque,

what you can do is to basically just use the touch-sensor part of the motorfader design on ucapps.

Reference: http://ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_din_touchsensors.pdf

To power the whole thing via USB and have USB midi, you’d want to use a core32 module.

For the 32 keys you’ll need one DINx4, and another DINx1 for the encoder and the two buttons.

Oh… Thanks a lot!

Correct me if I’m not right, so all i need to do is to connect STM 32 to DINx4 and connect 32 copper pads to DIN ins? or do i have to buy some sensor chip e.g. qtouch?
