Andrew McPherson - Capactive multi-touch musical keyboard

The TouchKeys are a DIY sensor kit for adding multi-touch sensing to any piano keyboard. Capacitive sensor overlays measure the XY position and contact area of the fingers on the key surfaces (up to 3 touches per key). Touch data can be flexibly mapped by OSC and MIDI, creating a wide variety of new expressive capabilities including vibrato and pitch bends on each note, real-time control of timbre, or microtonal tunings. This event will combine a presentation/demo of the TouchKeys capabilities with a hands-on hacking session to develop new uses for the sensor data.

More information and demo videos can be found at http://touchkeys.org
