I came across this interesting video: [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/9/1/9199a9308aab131c88683083e46e73a48f6b37bd.jpeg "Eurorack Force Sensitive Resistor Module (FSR)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f00t2liHl3Q) ---

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](https://www.sparkfun.com/categories/143)** > > Flex / Force - and more... Or you can go for more heavy duty stuff: [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/2/a/2a444b853a885852fa212bba3922f0b8177891c9.jpeg "We Built World's Strongest Bathroom Scale! + Hydraulic Press Accuracy Test!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYaWpjzbi4Y) ---

Yes with Velostat, it’s like this i’ve made my [ribbon controller](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/ribbon-controller-diy-vhs/3372/87). easy and cheap 🙂 ---

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.

> [@Bitnik](#): > > That’s what my urologist told me. 🤣🤣 Recently stumbled upon this: [https://www.tangio.ca/single-touch-trackpad-force-sensors](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!
