Hi all,
sorry if this is a little off the normal topic.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to rig up a casio keyboard, that has no midi, so that it can send midi data? I have a little bit of skill with electronics, some free time and a casio that I don't mind wrecking. If anyone knows please help me out.

Thanks
Jay

It'd be pretty difficult. You'd have to put sensors under all the keys, and install a MIDI controller.
