Dear friends, do you have any idea or recommendation to me about the evolution of electric, electronic or digital musical keyboards? They evolved from mechanical keyboard instruments such as piano, organ, cembalo or clavichord; and started appearing in 1940s. Their interface and interaction with the musician have been evolving and developing since then. Today their interface have nearly reduced (or simplified) to only an LCD screen.
This great evolution from mechanical to digital have led those keyboards take over the place of an orchestra generally: a high quality digital keyboard can sometimes be as capable as an orchestra today. Here the interface or interaction designer have an important role for improving the interaction. Do you have any idea about keyboard-performer interaction? Best regards...
