Plan B Touch Keyboard Coming This Year

Via Peter Grenader on the Plan B list:

"The Model 21 is slated to have a complementry touch keyboard sometime after it's release. There will only be one type produced - geared toward 16 keys, so it's best suited for the Venti.

The thoughplate will be a single rack width high unit which will come in two flavors - with or without rack ears. On it will be 16 touchplates, an internal connection to the Venti's VC direction input, a duplicate external direction input so one does not lose that functionality, pressure out, linear voltage out (sixteen equal divisions of ground to 8 volts - so a 1/2 volt increment per key) and gate out. If there's rtoom, this is wherethe veertical sequencing will also be housed.

OK< so what ever happened to symmetrry?

If you happen to use two rows of rack mounted EUro and don't want the MIUlton touchkeys wo send one rack and inch anf three quarters wack form the other, simultanious to it's release will be a one rack unit high multiple gang - all the mults you could ever dream of. By using both, then your adcecent cabinets will; linw up as they should.

when is this all going to happen?

this year.

We've got five modules to release in short time: The M's 16, 25, 26, 27 and Miltons. Once that occurs, the touchplates are next in the development pipe, along with the release and completion of the M18 and M23 ASR.

Sorry for the delay on these things. Only two guys here, orders to fill, disrupting daily group Starbucks runs to make (my fault), not to mention Tim's periodic defibulation requirements due to his Monster and Rockstart cold beverage usage.

...Just kidding about Tim. That's not fair. (He usually doesn't require the pads).
