Adaptive Touch Keyboard
Built with hand painted and etched copper panels and the Teensy LC uController, this midi keyboard senses human touch through capacitance. The unmarked keys automatically map to a variety of scales, which for this project are communicated via OSC over WIFI to a synthesizer program built with MAX/msp.
The panels lacking the traditional black and white keys of a piano worked well for using a variety of scales without dead or duplicate notes across keys.
