[sdiy] Make a CS80

[cheater cheater]

Hi guys!
I've ran into some cool stuff today :-)

ribbon controller, 10 cm up to 2m:
http://www.spectrasymbol.com/typo3/site/en/membrane-potentiometers.html?no_cache=1

basically, a linear potentiometer.

all sorts of shapes, circular, linear, multi-row, ...
linear response


aaand has someone said polyphonic aftertouch?

These units measure a wide range of force; 25 grams to 3,000,000 lbs.
Honeywell load cells also offer the highest levels of accuracy and
commercially available today; 0.05% to 0.5% F.S. while coping with
temperatures from -60¼F up to 320¼F.

25 grams... that's not so much. Definitely less than I need for the
Ensoniq SQ80 aftertouch!

I was searching around for led rings too... but found nada. Any ideas? :-)
