so, maybe i should start 4 separate TKS polls:

one for number of steps(8,16, 24, 32 ?), one for shape of touch plates (round, hexagon, rectangular?), one for keyboard layout or not keyboard layout,
and one for midi plus cv/gate out or only cv/.gate outs?

This is the current state: we have a prototype available that could be

connected to any desired number of pads (currently up to 16 but could be

expanded to 32, 48 ...). Dimension, shape and arrangement of the pads could

be chosen because the electronics does kind of auto-adjustement after power

on (i.e. it measures the capacitance of each pad in the neutral state and

stores this value as a reference to detect if a pad is touched. Though we

tested not all imaginable pad dimensions and shapes virtually a lot of

version are possible (large/small pads, musical keybord layout,

round/rectangle/triangle/octagon shapes, linear, several rows or matrix

arrangements, and so on ...). Our prototype outputs midi but it would be no

problem to add a CV/gate output. Though many users don't like it I think

midi is most versatily output because you can derive anything you want from

this data (e.g. single gate outputs, monophonic or polyphonic CV outputs,

controls for the CV assigned to each pad and so on).
