MIDI Scancontroller
MIDIscan is an open-source project based on the Arduino framework; a populated board can be obtained via the KeyboardPartner shop. An Arduino Bootloader and a standard firmware ist installed.
Please note: Configuration is performed either via our MenuPanel (if present) or by recompiling the Arduino source code using PlatformIO or the Arduino IDE. Do not order this board when you are not familiar with arduino or you do not own a HX3 MenuPanel. Sources
Features
Up to two Fatar or Pulse-6105 keyboards (with velocity sensitivity) or our Scan16/Scan61 boards can be connected; additionally, a pedal (Scan16 or Bass25 board) is supported. MIDIScan also supports a menu system (optional menu panel), 16 freely assignable buttons/switches (optional Panel16-I2C or Extend16 board), as well as analog controls assignable to any CCs (optional Drawbar, ANX8, or PTX4 boards). For Fatar keyboards, a FatarScan1 or FatarScan2 board is required; our keyboards from Pulse are already equipped with a compatible scan interface. The scan board used can be selected in the device’s menu (when using the MenuPanel) or via software; the MenuPanel can be removed again after the setting has been made.
Dimensions: 82 mm x 52 mm x 22 mm, weight 38 g
