"keyboard" for my synth...

[jamiewoody]

this circuit board is from a cheap handheld game. i turned it into a sort of oscillating synth, buzzy sounding with a potentiometer to control the buzzing.

anyhow, there is a trace i discovered. if i jump a wire between a resistor and touch the traces (circled in the illustration), each trace makes a different sound!

well, i started thinking, could i connect sensors to these and then connect a keyboard, or pads?

or what about a rotory switch between the resistor and these?

what are you opinions?

gotta love the big black blob! 

there is an annoying starup song too....has anybody ever had good results dissabling these?

If it makes different tones, than I would think you could make a keyboard for it. You may have to do a momentary pushbutton keyboard though.

other ideas include a rotory switch, or a pen tool connected to the resistor. any other ideas?
