woozle Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 The only pad-like buttons I've found, if I understand what you're asking, are on sparkfun. 2x2 momentary silicone buttons. And momentary buttons are what you want, but that's just a category. More specifically you want SPST NO switches to use as buttons. "push to make" could be the same thing for all I know, but certainly don't take my word for it. Have you used the search? Check the wiki?http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=parts_faq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 push to make or momentaryThe ones we want are "momentary ON", or "momentary CLOSED", or "NO" aka "Normally Open", which are three of many names for the same thing, and guess what? push-to-make is another name for it. ;)Perhaps you'd like to add push-to-make to the wiki where I explained the different names - I didn't think to use that one, as it's quite old terminology and rarely seen these days...Anyway I voted for push-to-make, because momentary is not a complete specification - they could also be momentary OFF/momentary OPEN, which we don't want.

nebula Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 To further clarify: the opposite of "push to make" is "push to break". So yes, "push to make" is what you want. BTW are you the "Atom Heart" that made the ultimate glitchy cover version of Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes"? If so, I'm a fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryd_one Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 so using push to make is the right choice isnt it?The ones we want are "momentary ON", or "momentary CLOSED", or "NO" aka "Normally Open", which are three of many names for the same thing, and guess what? push-to-make is another name for it. ;)Did I st-st-stutter? </samuel l jackson> ;)I'm guessing you must be in the information overload phase of midiboxing... hang in there, it gets easier!
