Inspired by the classic Serge Modular TKB, this DIY touch-activated keyboard sequencer uses capacitive touch plates to generate control voltages and gates. It can be played as an expressive performance keyboard or configured as a flexible step sequencer. With a strong focus on tactile interaction and patch-based programmability, the module favors open-ended experimentation over fixed sequencing structures. See the TKB MANUAL for in-depth details.
TKB DIY version comes in 3 options
OG KIT - PANEL / CIRCUIT PCB. The OG kit is sold as a hand wired project like the original TKB's.
STANDARD KIT - PANEL / CIRCUIT PCB / POT PCB / LED MOD PCB. Standard kit is a simple kit designed to source your own ribbon & molex cables or to purchase them separately.
DELUXE KIT - PANEL / CIRCUIT PCB / POT PCB / LED MOD PCB / RIBBON CABLES / MOLEX CABLES / MM74C150N IC. Deluxe kit comes with color coded molex cables & color coded ribbon cables. 2.5mm Touch Plate mounting screws included!
If LED MOD PCB is ordered you will need to delete the CD4051 IC in the CIRCUIT BOM.
MM74C150N socket is included in the CIRCUIT BOM.
DISCLAIMER
It is highly recommend that you build your project using the MM74C150N IC we sell for consistent results in the calibration procedure. We have noticed extreme inconsistencies when using different brands of the MM74C150N! Results may vary if you choose to source them from eBay and the module may not calibrate correctly.
