OT: Guy builds a Cantabile keyboard

[miden]

Just had to share this from a fellow Cantabile user.

 

Very creative!

There's something to be said for building it yourself when manufacturers don't listen, fall behind the curve, or are stuck in old paradigms and business models.

 

In some ways I think we all do it when we put together 10 pieces of gear to come up with a rig that works for our needs. These sorts of efforts just take refining an idea to the next level.

I thought of actually hacking into the flat surface of a keyboard to mount a touchscreen, then just route the display cable out to an external computer. Or to take it even further.....computer parts are now small enough, you could probably buy a controller and mount a mini-itx board right inside, and built an integrated solution starting with a controller.

 

But while this type of integration is kind of cool, I don't see much advantage in the long run. But certainly a fun and challenging project. Kudo's to the user that took on this challenge.

 

I do love the new version of cantabile.

I applaud everyone who goes for it.
