Hi Thorsten, unfortunately Apple did not implement the stack within iOS. So I had to reimplement it in Objective C... Best regard, Tobias

Hi everyone, as I have recently discovered your discussion concerning network-MIDI, I just wanted to give you guys a short hint, that I have just uploaded the first public release of my network MIDI driver. This driver is meant for Windows XP up to Windows 7, supports 32bit and 64bit and is compatible to the network MIDI driver included in every OS x since "Tiger". If you are interested to give it a try - just take short look at my new website: www.tobias-erichsen.de Best regards, Tobias

As those keybeds are quite common, i thought that someone around here had already played around with them a little and could provide me the information, but if this is not the case, I will be contacting them directly - it's a shame that they don't have any website or contact-email-address. I just brought their new catalog from Musik Messe in Frankfurt and there is no indication that they have any connection to the internet - very uncommon these days ;-) Tobias PS.: the new keybed they showed at Musik Messe (TP 400) is about the best electronic keybed I have had my hands on so far - so if anyone is into playing piano - this is the one to try out...

Hi there, does anyone know how the connector pinout on FATAR keybeds (88 keys, non-hammer-action) is laid out? Best regards, Tobias

I thought that Windows autodetects your usb-device and uses the generic USB-midi-driver... What is the problem with that? Tobias

Hi, have you guys ever thought about building a small ethernet/wireless lan <> midi device? I have written a network-midi driver for windows, which you can currently use to connect multiple computers via (virtual) midi over the local network. It would be nice to have a real backend to connect synthesizers etc. With wireless you could even have the added benefit to work cableless (though wifi is a power-hog ;-) Tobias PS.: I'll release the driver publically a couple of weeks after the CeBIT is done, as soon as I have time to finish a couple of small open topics...

I'm currently writing a Windows device-driver which supports the P1639 spec. For Linux and Mac there already exist such drivers... The only missing link is someone building a hardware- interface ;-) Tobias

That's a shame - really everything over about 2 Bucks is out of the question - it's still a hobbyist project. Perhaps I should find someone who is using those parts in bigger projects (large count) and try to get a share of 100 of those... but who might use such sensors? Tobias

These companies are all crazy. I'd value a sensor like this for in between 1 and 2 Dollar/Euro, but no more. No wonder, there are no new keyboard- models with polyphonic aftertouch build anymore... Tobias

Thanks a lot. Looks very promising. Let me know what you found out when you have talked to the guy... Regards, Tobias

Hi everyone, I'm currently investigating building a keyboard which has polyphonic aftertouch. To do this, I need to put a force-sensitive resistor under each key. Unfortunately these parts cost between 4 and 10 Euro/Dollar. As I want to equip an 88 key keyboard, this would be a little expensive, so I'm looking for a cheaper source - does anyone have any pointers? Tobias
