Re: newbie questions: building experimental controllers



a few good links for those interested in building their own sensors and midi controllers:

http://www.infusionsystems.com/
**Home of I-cube, which translates incoming voltage changes into MIDI signals. they offer bend, pressure, light, rotation and other sensors. expensive, but worth a browse.


http://www.steim.nl/sensor.html
**STEIM, in holland, has been developing their Sensor-Lab device for a few years now. it works similar to i-cube by translating voltage into midi messages. STEIM offers workshops and residencies to those interested in exploring and producing tactile midi controllers, and a lot of innovative instruments have come out of them.


http://devices.sapp.org/
**schematics and links for those interested in building their own controllers, for use with analog devices, i-cube, sensor-lab, another voltage-to-midi type converter, or (for those brave enough) a home-built micro-controller system.



ok, not so "newbie", but inspiring i hope. at the very least, you'll think twice before pecking away at another MIDI keyboard.


best,
derek
