Alesis Micron Audio Demo

"A small random soundscape showing the power of the Alesis Micron se. All Sounds are the Alesis Micron, no effects, no eq, just straight into interface."

You'll find a MIDI Designer Pro iPad editor for the Micron and Akai Miniak here. They both share the same engine along with the Alesis ion. I tested out the editor this weekend and it works well!

TouchKeys Multi-Touch DIY Touch Sensor Kit on Kickstarter

Some details via Kickstarter here:

"Add continuous expressive control to any keyboard with this DIY touch sensor kit.

What are the TouchKeys?

The TouchKeys are touch sensors that attach to your keyboard to measure where your fingers contact the keys.

Use the TouchKeys with any synth to naturally control vibrato, pitch bends, control changes and many other new sounds while playing.

Put the TouchKeys on your own keyboard with a self-install DIY kit, or go for one of our limited-edition prebuilt instruments.

Transforming the Keyboard

Every keyboard player knows the problem: playing and releasing notes is easy, but shaping what happens in the middle is hard. The acoustic piano wasn't designed to play vibrato, pitch bends or timbre changes, and if you want these techniques on an electronic keyboard, you’re usually stuck with clumsy wheels and pedals or limited aftertouch. The TouchKeys instead put these techniques literally at your fingertips, giving you continuous expressive control with a shake of the wrist or a slide of the finger.

The TouchKeys are capacitive sensor overlays which attach securely to the surface of each key. When you play, the sensors measure the position and contact area of your fingers in real time. This information is sent back to your computer, where the TouchKeys software lets you control any instrument you like. And since they’re attached to your keyboard, you still have the feeling and all the extra controls of your favourite instrument!

The Whole Key a Sensor, with Multi-Touch

The TouchKeys sensors are carefully shaped to fit any keyboard with standard-width keys. The overlays cover the entire playing surface of the key, sensing your finger position in two dimensions (XY). Sensing the touch contact area means the TouchKeys can also distinguish between the fingertip and the pad of the finger. The sensors are even multi-touch: up to three simultaneous touches can be sensed on a single key.

What can I do with the TouchKeys?

via the listing: "This synth is in fair condition cosmetically, with some foam residue that has melded with the keyboard casing as seen in the second photo. There is also some cosmetic wear in various spots. However, the keys themselves are clean, and the keyboard performs perfectly with no mechanical defects. I should also mention that I am the original owner. It was recently serviced and given a full inspection, which it passed after some minor repairs..."
