This is a quick project for anyone who uses Arduino, MIDI, or just likes to tap a beat on the desk.... More Information and Links below....
Using the powerful Teensy boards with Visual Micro, you can create and calibrate a USB MIDI capable device in minutes, and coupled with in-built hardware touch detection you can add a buttons to it using nothing more than pencil, paper and a paperclip!
This is a simple example of how to create your own notebook MIDI Device, using just a Teensy LC and a few wires, allowing you to have a whole array of instruments in your top pocket. As the Teensy is fully USB compliant, it can also be connected to a USB Host adapter on a mobile phone, so you can plug your notepad into your phone, and begin recording anywhere.....
Of course the instrument layouts are only limited by your imagination (or in my case drawing skills), so you could have a roll out / fold up keyboard, which allows for a full size keyboard to unfold from next to your phone!
This is just the tip of the Teensy features, and with more power on the new boards than you can shake a stick at, the limit is imagining what to make next.....
