MIDI paper

It's not fake. He just doesn't explain everything. He uses an IC that accepts midi triggering from external sources. He probably laid some copper tape under the notes, which are triggered by touch sensitivity. Then you just assign values in midi to them.

A driver's license as a MIDI controller, controlling drums with pennies and now playing keyboards with a drawing of a keyboard. You've abstracted away the form and left only the function; these are tools for making great music. If only I knew AC from DC, I'd be jamming with pennies and paper now.

this isnt fake, its very possible. its 2012 and you think this is impossible, but everyone has a COMPUTER for a phone that can do what over 12 devices were needed for just 5 or 10 years ago... but its impossible to send a small amount of midi through paper and probably some kind of copper band or something below it...

oky.. but how did you do it?

household hacker makes a midi controller

I love the way he hit the first key and the sound had a great big deal of latency hope the other person that was on the real keyboard could of sync exactly when he first play how fake this was
-
wow your an idiot he said he printed it

I'm calling shenanigans!

thats great, whats underneath the paper, 303?

Do you care to elaborate on what IC is? Where i can get it? lol
Sorry that I'm 9 months late as well haha
There's no copper band under the paper, the sensors are all drawn with a conductive ink pen. That is fed into a touch switch made up of one resistor per key (which could, theoretically, be drawn on as well, but weren't in this case). The "circuit" that makes up the sensors was drawn entirely on the back of the paper, and the porosity of the paper allows the touch switch to function.
