"i picked up a 5-octave fatar keybed and MKE electronics from doepfer via analog haven. he carries 2-5 octave bare keybeds with simple channel/octave controls, all fatar (the highest quality italian-made keybeds you can get…and doepfer is the ONLY place you can order a keybed from fatar without being a manufacturer). the 8 knobs and faders are the doepfer PKE, a super simple plug and play solution that could have been a midibox or arduino. add a edirol midi>usb cable, usb hub, and multi-voltage power supply and i’ve got one power plug, one usb port, and midi out to drive hardware synths. i’ve left room in the enclosure for a mac mini (or small form factor pc or linux box)…but that’ll be a stretch of my willpower to get it done."

"'AMK' is a modular sound toy for preschool children. In interaction with the cfomputer, single sounds and entire sets can be transferred to sound blocks, called 'Klnagbausteine'. The children can independently play and combine the sounds through plugging these blocks. Only one sound per block and age-based limited possibiliteis of sound modification afford a plain game and offers the children an orientation within the own system."
