I don't know if this will interest anyone, but I'm building a mini midi keyboard, from a salvaged one and I'm keeping a blog of it here:

Any suggestions? let me know!

Cool. I'm interested to see how you get on with this.

DIY drum pads would be a neat project though, as you say, totally different logic to a keyboard controller... Simple enough in theory but you really need to know a bit about programming PICs or something (I don't

) if you going to roll our own.

Good luck if you need a midi brain here's Roman's free 24 key PIC16F84 controller project. You can use a standard dip instead of the SMD version but you'll have to make your own PC board. The firmware and schematics are on this page.

Yes! this is cool. I have thought about building my own midi controller with Force Sensing Resistors. You could create a badass interface for effects, midi effects too. I would like to create a stand alone version of the Korg Elcetribe EMX Arpeggiator, you would need these FSRs to do it. So put some on your DIY keyboard then teach me!!

Edit: forgot the FSR link; http://www.interlinksensors.com/index.php?id=NDgy

Build this too!

The Synthstick is a cool first project.
