hi bakis, hope your trip was a good one. i am sure things are
moseying along with the development of the TSKB(Touch Sequencer
Keyboard).

i have completed the poll for the TSKB. there are presently 204
members on the list.i would like to thank the 9 members who took the
initiative and chose to vote on the poll. the poll results are very
conclusive for certain functions and features and less for others.
also remember that the pecentages are not useable since it was a
multiple features and functions poll. 9 members voted and as such,
you can divise the percentages according to the number of votes for
each question from the amount who voted to derive the percentages. i
didn't vote for the poll but you could add an extra vote to all of
the feature with the most functions.

i have to believe, that certain functions and features need to be
implemented into the TSKB and other may need more discussion or not
being implemented at all.

now would be the time for some discussion between Doepfer and its
users of this group to exchange ideas concerning the TSKB to have the
best possible feature laden controller.

Bakis, could you please foward the results of the poll to Mr.Doepfer,
so he can voice an opinion to the poll. could you also ask Mr.Doepfer
for a preliminary list of the features that they are working for the
TSKB.

Thanks in advance,
RM


here are the results, enjoy and once thanks for voting.

Question
TOUCH KEYBOARD FEATURE AND FUNCTION POLL #3 A touch keyboard poll to
see which features should be added for the proposed touch plate
keyboard sequencer. the poll will close on march 21,2002. so please
get your vote in to make a difference.if there are any new features
you want to see added, please email me with your suggestions and i
will add a second poll to conclude the features. cheers and get busy
voting!

would you like to have a pot to control the pressure from the touch
keys and sum the value with the pitch cv through the rear voice
outputs for polyphonic aftertouch the pot could include a switch to
it to turn on the the polyphonic aftertouch and increase of the range
as you turn to the right 9

would you like to have a 3-way pot to control the voice cv output
voltage. left position the keyboard outputs the notes chromatically.
right position, the touch key voltage is summed with the pot voltage
together for microtunings. the middle position the cv and pot
voltages output themselves separately at their respective output

would you like to have a second row of pots for a chaser style
sequencer like the A155 the first row being used for keyboard pot
voltage.the sequencer row would have switch pots to turn the step on
or off plus the voltage value with only cv and gate. you would also
have a pot for the range value.

would you like to have an SH-101 style sequencer in an A100 module
format that uses touch voltages from the touch keyboard to program
the note value for each step through a 5pin din connector the
keyboard clock would act as a master and pass through the 5pin jack.
the rest of the functions would controlled from the front panel.you
could have 1 to 4 connectors per touch keyboard. i have already
designed and laid out it in the A100 module format. i will put the
design in fantasy module folder in the files sections soon.

would you like to have a 4 row sequencer in an A100 format,with 24
stages per row it would have, again a 5 pin din connector on it to
receive a gate signal from the touch keys to trigger the 4 stage
column sequence that is output through an combined output called ABCD
which is controlled by a vertical clock input. the individual
horinzontal rows would each have their own separate output A, B, C,
and D. the horizontal clock would come through the 5pin jack from the
master clock on the touch keyboard. at the bottom of each column
there would be gate or trigger input to jack to control that column.
there would also be 3-way toggle to control either the horizontal row
step or the vertical clock rate. switch the toggle down and the input
jack clocks the vertical column. switch the toggle to the middle and
the clock the first or last step in the column. in the horizontal row
it creates a mute for that stage. switch the toggle to the top and it
creates an end point and resets to the first stage position. you
would one of these sequencers per touch keyboard. you could then
create 48 stage sequence , if linked 2 sequencers and 2 touch
keyboards together. don't forget that by going this route you bring
down the price of the keyboard and the sequencing options added to
your own liking and prescribed and final. again i have designed and
laid out a face plate for this module that i will put in the fantasy
module folder in the files sections soon.

would you like to have a pitch bend, ribbon style touch plates and an
extra all purpose controller please have a look at post #881 to see
the feature set for these functions. i will post a fantasy version of
this in files section. by the way all these come together in a single
row on the touch keyboard.
