Hi Stuart -<br>A hacked USB keyboard makes a nice button-bank, and you can typically strip away most of its size, leaving just a little circuit board with wires coming out to your buttons. You can read the button-presses with Hans's [hid] object.
<br><br>here's one that we did some time ago...<br><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/EDH81H8H62EQZJIDV8/">http://www.instructables.com/id/EDH81H8H62EQZJIDV8/</a><br>-David M.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hi<br><br>I'm helping with an installation which will have 12-16 buttons (on/off) to<br>set off events in Pd and need to find a simple midi controller to just send<br>note on and note off messages on 12-16 notes to do that. I could hack a midi
<br>keyboard but that would be a complicated and bulky solution given the size<br>of the installation. Any suggestions?<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Stuart<br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><a href="mailto:PD-list@iem.at">
