Hi, thanks for the heads-up about the lack of availability of the locking connector. You spoke of searching for the non-locking version. I'm certainly familiar with Digikey and Mouser, but I'm lacking basic knowledge about these connectors and, as we all know, there are really too many options on Digikey to browse effectively. What are the keywords or parameters that would get me started with the search?
Based on your message, I tried "crimp connector" followed by guess that I want "Rectangular Connectors - Housings", though I'm not too sure about that. Filtering on "1 row" and "female" gets me down to 25 choices.
http://www.digikey.com/scripts/dksearch/dksus.dll?FV=fff40016%2Cfff802fc%2C1600020%2C1680001&k=crimp+connector&vendor=0&mnonly=0&newproducts=0&ptm=0&fid=0&quantity=0&PV512=15&stock=1At this point, I guess I need to know the pin pitch (0.1"?). Is there anything else that I should know?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

My plan for the velocity is to affect the EG amount on the filter, which will take a whole lot more surgery (and sync'ing with the multiplexed CV signals).

Yes, I'll just be getting note information (not the velocity or aftertouch), but it's a place to get started. I think that this is the same spot that many of the Polysix MIDI kits attach.

If I knew those part numbers, it would really make my life easier, because then I could easily switch between the new keybed and the old keybed. I'm in the US, so vendors like Digikey, Mouser, Newark are preferred, but I'm happy to buy internationally, if that's what it takes.
