Fatar TP/8 to midi (8x8 matrix with velocity)

[orgoblo]

Hi el_rico

I am now thinking of doing what you may well have done by now: 61 note k/b of a CONN650 for a VtpO. I am just now scanning this FATAR string...but CONN uses rods. I wonder: What did you end up doing? I now have Behringer UMX610's removed from their cases and mounted. These give MIDI and this was before I learned of TEENSY. I will use this for pedals, pistons, shoes. But again I am thinking now of doing a CONN with the metal rods. I think all I need do is supply a ground to the rod common and then connect each hair wire (ugh) to the TEENSY PROBLEM: TEENSY 2++ is 46 (?) inputs and you know we need 61.

Any help with this?

I just joined the forum and saw your plans. Good for you!!

Best
Dave

Hello Dave,

I have been designing a 64 pins interface (KI64) between a Teensy based board (KI7_MIDI_USB)
So I can control up to 7 x 61 keys keyboards, pedal or shoes.
You can watch them on :

For matrixed keyboard, I have the KI6_FATAR_USB. Which is directly connected to the USB port.
I have also multiplexors which can drive any 64 keys to a 8x8 matrxi input.

Best regards,

Pascal
