Hi Everyone
I am an accordion player who loves electronics and tinkering, I've built mics for my accordion etc.
I want to build an attachment to go on the inside of my accordion to allow midi control of Pro Tools.
I was wondering what kind of switch/sensor I could use, I considered mounting a magnet to each of the 18 action rods then using hall effect sensors but 18 analog inputs on arduino, haha nope. I'm a bit stumped, they need to activate freely (not add any pressure to pressing the buttons) and be digital to plug into an arduino. They also need to not make any mechanical noise because this would get picked up by my internal microphone, this ruled out microswitches which I had initially considered.
So I'm stumped, any suggestions greatly received.
Thanks a lot
