It has been called “the most pretentious instrument of all time”

Sitting in my office at NJIT is the Moog/Eaton multisensitive keyboard,
brought there by John Eaton himself a few months ago.

Can we get it to work again?


This is an electronic keyboard developed in the early 90s by Bob Moog
and John Eaton, where each key is like a mini KAOS-pad with individual
2-dimensional
controller information sent as you move your finger around on each key,
even the black ones.

That’s a lot more information than polyphonic aftertouch.

Anyone want to help get this thing to work?  I need someone who understands
early
nineties vintage IBM-PC assembly language, those are the computers the
software
was designed for.
