So naturally, I took a computer keyboard apart and tried to make it a little easier on the eyes, and fingers. I knew computer keyboards could be used to send midi commands to music production software (such as ableton, pro tools, fl studio, etc), but keeping a computer keyboard on stage would be an eyesore.

This keyboard 'hack' was inspired from a situation when my band was playing a concert, but we needed a secondary synth. We will go over that, but we will focus on making a stylish, playable instrument. Have you ever needed an extra synth for a concert? Or maybe you just enjoy fiddling around with music production software and you need a midi controller? Well look no further than your own computer keyboard! No this is not another how-to article on enabling midi control via your computer keyboard.
