[sdiy] Touchpad as CV controller

[Julien Delgoulet]

I guess this can be done using a microcontroller such as the arduino platform and a cheap DAC (like the MCP4822).
If you don't mind interfacing your modular with midi this project might be for you: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1197235191

I have a number of used notebook touchpads lying around and was thinking about building a CV controller using one of these. Idea is to give trig/gate outputs when the touchpad is, well, touched, and X and Y information would translate as CV Outs, with additional potentiometers for Offset and Scale.
