DIYtar.

Which is the worlds sexiest and awesomest instrument? yes, the keytar. But
what if you want special features on it and are to cheap to buy one of ebay?
That is what I am. Cheap and special, that is why I made my own.

Hardware and costs.

1x Fatar keyboard 30eur (www.doepfer.de)
2x 500mm SoftPot 25.95 usd (www.sparkfun.com)
1x iDuino 17.82 usd (spiffie.org/kits/iduino)
1x battery stepup thingy (sparkfun)
cables + connectors + wood and such 200 sek, so about a 1000 sek.

Schematix.

I cant be botherd to do them right now, but they are not that advance.

Software.

This is easy, here it is DIYTAR_firmware.zip

  2. Hi Johan,

    Can I design a casing for your keytar? I just watched your DIYtar video and naturally being an industrial designer, I just think that your keytar could be a little more pretty (no offence!). It is suchh a great instrument and I really envy you for being able to create an instrument that I have always wanted to own…

  6. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to
    be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon.
    Thanks

  7. Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam remarks?
    If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
    I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any help is very much appreciated.
