[sdiy] Keyboard Schematics

[greg montalbano]

Well, if you're talking monophonic, you could also use the old Paia system 
with the digital encoder/DAC -- both were fairly simple circuits, and did 
not require microprocessor control.

They were Polyphony articles that ended up in Simonton's "Friendly Stories 
About Computers & Synthesizers".  Might be available at Anders Sponton's 
fine site;  or I could mail you a copy  (if you promise not to hassle me 
about not charging for the copying & postage!)
