The Touch Board - it's possible to draw own MIDI controller

[Cupe]

Some of you may remember a few weeks back when we shared news of MusicInk, an Italian product that was helping school children learn about music by playing pieces of paper connected using conductive paint. In that article, we mentioned how cool it would be if we could one day make our own MIDI controllers out of just this conductive paint and pieces of paper, and, as it turns out, that’s kind of already happening thanks to the Touch Board.

Currently in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign that has well exceeded its fundraising goals, the Touch Board—developed by Bare Conductive—serves as an electrical routing board of sorts which can interpret the various signals sent via the company’s conductive paint into signals for things like doorbells, light switches, and—here’s the best part—MIDI. So essentially, once these things start shipping, it is conceivable that you’ll be able to draw your own MIDI controller, with a few extra components, of course. Still, how rad is that? For more information on the Touch Board, you can check the video below and head over to the project’s Kickstarter page, where there are still a few days left to contribute and claim one of the first Touch Boards for your own experiments.
