hi Florian.

ok, thanks for your insight.

its up to Dieter to decide the final look / layout of the touch plates of the TK.

i would not mind if they looked like a 2 octaves keyboard or a series of touch plates. either way it will be very useful.(for me, at least).

in my opinion, having 24 plates to control 3 rows of 24 steps and having the plates define starting/ending step and step addressing plus various running modes of the analogue 24 step sequencer, it would be a very powerful tool and really useful for many applications!

thanks,
best regards,      :-)
Bakis.

Hi Bakis



> i would think that a touch keyboard with 24 plates, allighned as a two octaves keyboard, retains the 24 touch plates functionality while, additionally, providing the convenience of a chromatic keyboard, in case anyone want to use it that way in some application. so, you have best of both worlds... (touch plates plus a more standard keyboard, just in case...)

The concept shown at http://www.doepfer. de/a100tkb. htm speaks of a

controller which can be used for both plate keyboards and conventional

keyboards. So I think it does not make sense to copy the classic piano

layout for the touch keyboard.

I voted with "not sure, but assumingly will buy", under my private the

precondition, that it is NOT a classic keyboard. The bugbrand CTL1 was

one of the most interesting modules (if not THE most interesting) I have

seen in the last months. Especially the expressiveness provided by the

"fir tree" shaped pads is great. It is also worth having a look at the

instruments of folktek (http://folktek. com/) to get an impression, what

is possible with touch plate sensors in electronic musical instruments.
