<div>Yes, you could say D-beams. I would take a closer look at VCNL4040 which is rather small sensor with 16-bit resolution and I2C output. Probably there's something more suitable, but quick search gave me this model.<br></div><div>Reading a bunch of those sensors is not rocket science, and then the most obvious way is to translate them to polyphonic aftertouch.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Roman<br></div><div class="nh_extra"><p>Dnia 16 grudnia 2017 05:46 Mike HEQX <mike@heqx.com> napisał(a):<br></p><blockquote class="nh_quote" style="border-left: 2px solid #999; padding-left: 8px; margin: 0;"><div id="gwp04807a82"><div id="gwp04807a82h"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="gwp04807a82b" data-message-body="true"><p>Roman, So you are saying that this is not that special and is
like a bunch of Roland d-beam controllers in a matrix? I suppose
that is true, but it is the glue circuitry and software component
that makes this product perform. So if one wanted to do this as a
matrix of proximity sensors and control a synth where would you
start ( after the proximity sensor part) <br></p><div><br></div><div class="gwp04807a82_moz-cite-prefix">On 12/14/2017 4:36 PM, Roman wrote:<br></div><blockquote is-minimized="" type="cite" cite="mid:399f24deaa2b4c4b87530ece04ff9015@grupawp.pl"><div>So it's just dummy regular switch, but you can install
