Force Sensitive Resistor Module

[Jos]

I came across this interesting video:

Eurorack Force Sensitive Resistor Module (FSR)

[SYNTHGUY57]

great all I need is some force sensors, and luck , great video nice circuits

Haven’t watched the video so don’t know what they’re using, but e.g. Sparkfun has a bunch of options:

Flex / Force - SparkFun Electronics

Or you can go for more heavy duty stuff:

How to DIY this sensor

Yes with Velostat, it’s like this i’ve made my ribbon controller. easy and cheap

[SYNTHGUY57]

I built this and used Pololu FSR’s and it rocks

Makes a good swap out when an old organ has a damaged aftertouch.
I’ve been lurking through this channel soaking up inspiration for reverb and drivers. Piezos are so versatile.

That’s what my urologist told me.

Recently stumbled upon this: https://www.tangio.ca/single-touch-trackpad-force-sensors

The implementation guide explains how it the sensor can be read using a microcontroller. Would make a cool 3-axis cv source.

It could have been worse as the last aftertouch I had to fix was on my vintage Yamaha YC25D.
Or as my kids say, Dad’s enormous red organ!
