MIDI controller using mechanical keyboard switches (prototype #2)
Hi everyone.
This is my xp64 prototype number 2.
MIDI controller using mechanical keyboard switches (Kailh pro purple).
Powered by Teensy 2.0.
It has maximum polyphony, or 64 n-key rollover for you mechanical people.
The yellow and white keys are C, the black is G. I use those two notes as reference in this 8x8 grid. Bottom left note is pitch 36, and goes upwards, left to right, bottom to top row to row. Just like an Ableton PUSH controller.
It plays a simple on/off message. NO VELOCITY, NO AFTERTOUCH.
Sustain is being used by automation in logic (pre-made blank midi block with only sustain information).
Copper plate is 1.6mm if I remember correctly. And the pcb is custom made by someone else.
I had some laser cutting done which you can see at the end. Didn’t show up as well as I thought it would. But still kinda cool.
The text is the doom slayer prophecy along with a few other quotes I like. Can you name them?
