In this video, Ken MacBeth Of MacBeth Studio Systems demonstrates a prototype of a new touch keyboard.
Here’s what he has to say about the touch keyboard:
This is a demo of the touch keyboard that I’m working on. Gone is the physical stylus- now a finger with a small piece of foil is acting as the actuator! It’s fun and it works.
The touch keyboard is playing the MacBeth Micromac desktop unit via it’s CV inputs. I’m using a fair bit of sample and hold- LFO1 S&H is sampling the LFO2 Triangle wave- is sounds a little bit like sequences or arpeggios.
I’m also using the CV from the touch keyboard to control the speed of LFO1- at the very bottom of the keyboard- it’s 0 Volts- at the top it’s about 3 and half volts- so the LFO speeds up and slows down accordingly.
Check it out and let us know what you think of it!

LFOMG!!!
There!! My EF-303 Roland blinking in the back!! I knew someone else beside me bought that thing. LOL!
I swear I’ve seen this before on a Buchla controller…. and on Animoog! Definitely want one, since it *appears* to have position-based aftertouch modulation (if not would just be a glorified stylophone, which is OK but not as awesome as a physical Animoog-style poly aftertouch controller.)
wow! rad! yes, it looks like a giant stylophone … that you can connect to ur moog or whatever ! pure awesomeness! i want two!
