This video tutorial will show you how to take an old computer keyboard and use its circuitry as a physical computing input device. This is my first video tutorial so feedback will be greatly appreciated.

AND ABLETON LIVE TO NAME A FEW.

I AM PLANNING ON USING THIS THIS DEVICE TO INTERFACE SOME SALVAGED ORGAN
PEDALS WITH THE COMPUTER.


THINGS TO NOTE:

YOU COMPUTER DOESN'T HAVE A PS2 PORT

- YOU ARE GOING TO USE ONE OF THE 4 PINS AS A "GROUND" THAT YOU WILL PLUG
USE TO WIRE TO ALL YOUR OTHER PINS WITH A SWITCH IN BETWEEN
