Hi,
I just got myself an I-CubeX and am looking to buy some interesting sensor devices. While the I-CubeX peeps sell quite a few, theyre a bit pricey. For example a Sharp IR sensor that costs $60 dollars from them costs about €15 here in europe from Conrad!!
To start with Im just after some touch and pressure sensitive sensors. If anyone knows where I can get some from here in Europe, please let me Know. Ive already checked the websites of Maplin and Conrad but they dont appear to have these type of sensors.

Thanks, Matt

Anybody ??

Any comment would be nice maybe even your experiences with Kyma and ICube. Dont suppose theres some feature in Kyma that directly supports it is there. Ive heard about externals for Max that are for ICube but dont know what these would do, plus CPS know supports ICube sysex, anyone able to shed some light on the implications of this in terms of an alternative to continueous controller data??

Cheers,

Matt

** While Im here, anyone have comments on using a Notron Latronic with Kyma ? Again, any comment, no matter how trivial you think it might be, would be cool.

uh, sorry for the late reply.

i used piezo elektric sensors for pressure control.
conrad.de sells them very cheap as "buzzers". since this piezo elements make sound when voltage is fed to them. but they also put out some elektrons when pushed. you might need a bit of an amplification of the signal. but in the end they become very sensitiv.
the problem with the iCube is that they use special plugs to connect to their cv->midi blackbox. thats why i dindīt buy this system.....bla bla...
anyway i still have the circuits for the little amplifier if you want to solder a bit....
here are some other links to elektronic strores: http://www.wienschall.at/ http://www.aigner.co.at/

i think you should prepare the midi data coming from i-cube in max befor sending it to kyma.
