[sdiy] debouncing old roland keyboard

Hello all, i've got an old Roland S-50 keyboard that
i'm trying to make into a cv keyboard but there's (of
course) a problem: it's in pretty bad shape so i get
trigger bouncing all the time. This is a pretty big
problem since i control a memory writeenable pin with
the gate. It can be a lot of triggers coming while
depressing/releasing they key, thus putting the memory
into writeenable and storing the wrong key.

I've put a cap inbetween the gate and ground and it
works most of the time but i still get the wrong key
stored sometimes.

Does anyone have any good deboucing circuits, or maybe
cleaning tips for the keyboard....

Another small thing that comes into my mind is, how
much power does the triggers within this kind of
keyboard (normal rubber trigger thingy) take?

/Karl
