The hall effect sensors allow for a really neat after touch effect.

Recently I've been working with analog magnetic sensors for reading keyboard position, velocity and aftertouch.

Wrote a quick FM-synthesis engine for some sweet 1980s synth bells. Then took the prototype keyboard for a test drive on one of them free jam-tracks. : }

That's a neat idea. : }
I'll have to go looking for my old game controller to test it out.

Wow, that's really low,
I might try that. lowest I've tuned my bass to is D.

I'm guessing you'd need thick gauge strings for a drop C#

You know, I have a very controversial view that a 4-string bass is actually better then 5-sting bass. : }

A 4-string bassist is someone who wants to get the job done.

Hey Chaz. I mostly just post bits and pieces online.
One day I will do a proper blog, but that's a little ways out at this time.

Yeah, it's a labor of love. A lot of people won't understand the appeal of building a synth by hand. : }
