http://hotchk155.blogspot.com/2010/03/midi-guitar-on-stripboard-kind-of.html for more info. Somewhere between the Omnichord and the Stylophone lies this thing... simple but suprisingly effective... a PIC16F688 microcontroller, 2 shift registers IC's, 36 switches and a bunch of wire. The buttons select major/minor/maj7/min7/7/dim/aug chords based on any root note, and you "strum" across 3-4 octaves of notes from the chord by touching bits of exposed wire with a "stylus". The output is all MIDI (circuit makes no sound by itself) and Reason is being used here for sounds. Message to YouTube: All music by me. No copyrighted content.
