Don’t worry, I’m not naked, playing a midi keybaord. Instead of finishing other projects… I start new ones lol… I need a standalone midi keyboard so I don’t have to boot up the compooper to be a usb host to make the bleepbloops go… so I went a organ hunting, and found a donor… a lowrey pagent. and in my organ harvesting I also got a eg&g SAD-512D bucket brigade delay… WooooT! so here’s the rough mock up… its “lettin it all hang out” I’ve got some other tricks up my sleeve once the pots go in… neat stuffs I tell ya!
I have to grumble for a minute… tried like hell to get the teensy to scan the key matrix, fail, fail, fail fail… Grrr… can’t get it for the life of me… I broke down and bought a keystep… to be continued some other time lol
Sad news. Still, keeps the old retail therapy monkey snugly on our backs. I’ve too much old MIDI kit to think of a keystep but I think one day an “all in one place” controller might be a cool project. Like the ‘cheapstep’.
Not to encourage more mindless consumerism, but the Keystep is just as peachy with old MIDI as it is with new. My 5-pin only gear likes it just as well as any MIDI over USB.
Not sure what you mean by cheap, but there’s the KeyStep and the KeyStep Pro. The former is cheaper (and of course not as full featured), $129 vs $399 at Sweetwater. I got a open box KeyStep from ProAudioStar for $100.
Incidentally, I acquired this at the end of March, accidentally had it shipped to my work address and it’s been sitting in the mailroom at work until yesterday:
she dont like you being a moneyspender in these times? Its okay I once had my boss order a 1974 LTD Front and back bumper set to our tiny office as he set it in the corner and mirrors and then 2 fenders , wtf?
