This may be of interest to the group. I made a DIY touch controller
last year, inspired by the Buchla controllers we have at Mills College.
Mine uses FSR senors rather than touch capacitance. Each sensor has cv
out with adjustable range and a trigger out. There is also a master
trigger out and a Softpot "ribbon" sensor from Spectrasymbol. A very
simple circuit - just voltage dividers and a comparator for triggers.
It has been incredibly useful and has really opened up the performance
versatility of a small modular system.

people realised what could be done with it, to suddenly skip between
tone colours, it's exactly what sets modulars apart from dreary samey
synths.
