Workshop on how to hack a keyboard and turn it into a step sequencer or any other conceivable controller for synthesizers. We may undertake this transformation in such a way that no screen is required, creating a direct link between keyboard and sound operation, strongly relying on the musician’s hearing and memory. The focus will be placed on the conception of musical interfaces and their implementation in different hardware. Besides, we will find intuitive modes of interaction and elegant solutions to restrictions, the hardware imposes upon us. Code examples, microcontroller hardware and necessary tools will be provided. Please supply your own keyboard. The hardware should have no more than 16 keys and ideally has a large form factor. Dial pads and rings, doorbells, simple remote controls or toys may be used.
Please note that computer keyboards are not suitable for this workshop.
