Message-ID: <32208@cup.portal.com> X-Local-Date: 28 Jul 90 22:09:12 PDT Date: 29 Jul 90 05:09:12 GMT Organization: The Portal System (TM) Lines: 23 I need two keyboards. Cheap. First to paste on my computer. Should be a piece of cellophane [like scotch tape] to glue on my computer. MIDI output. I had some toy some years back. I think it cost $10 US. I forget what they call it, maybe capacitance switches, where you just touch. My toy had a small battery, one chip, one 1" speaker. Must have MIDI out plug so use like type writer. Should be produceable in qty for a couple of bucks. Need size equal regular piano and range exactly 3 octaves. f-f-f. That exactly matches the range of the bottom of the base clef to the top of the treble clef, with middle c in the middle, the range of the average human voice~. The second keyboard is same except velocity moveing keys. Can cost a little more, not much. help page Alvin H. White, Gen. Sect.
