Looking for parts

[ronkarls at algonet.se]

Well...

I´m just subscibed to this discussion group and are pretty unsure what
topics you handle, but here we go... 

For a long time I have been thinking of building my own midi masterkeyboard
to controll my synthesizers. I have a woodworking shop and the idea was to
build a PLAYABLE keyboard (like ex. Fatar) I came across a couple of
different projects - but a common IC in the projects is a "tangentscanner"
called E510, and it seems to have disappeared from the market. Perhaps I
could program a 8031 to do the job, but...

Does anybody have a suggestion were I can hold on this IC? I only need 2 of
them... one as a spare you know...
Does anybody know of similar projects?

Thanks in advance!
