[sdiy] Roman Sowa's MIDI Controllers - PIC MIDI control

[Chris Manders]

Hey, thanks for that, Paul. I appreciate your reply.

I know what you mean regarding no velocity or pressure
data from the circuit - I have had a look around at
alternatives that would provide velocity and pressure
sensitivity information but there aren't any. Or at
least, I haven't managed to source one, and my
searches have revealed nothing.

Shame really, as the keyboard I am going to use this
circuit with has both of these features in it.
The electronics are dead though (Casio AZ-1 Keytar
controller) - I did a request for a Schematic a while
back - I even contacted Casio themselves, but without
success - Haven't managed to get one - I have now
decided it is beyond repair.
Hence the reason for the interest in the Keyboard
Controller circuit - I am hoping to breathe new (if
somewhat limited) life back into it.

Chris
