			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">In order to understand the MIDI keyboard, we should know about the musical keyboard first. A musical keyboard is the set of adjacent depressible levers on a musical instrument which cause the instrument to produce sounds.</p>
<p>Keyboards almost all share the common layout shown. Musical instruments with keyboards of this type include the piano, harpsichord, virginals, clavichord, organ, electric piano, digital piano, synthesizer, &#8220;arranger keyboard&#8221; or &#8220;home keyboard&#8221; (also called &#8220;electronic keyboard&#8221;), celesta, dulcitone, accordion, melodica, glasschord, and carillon. Since the most commonly encountered keyboard instrument is the piano, the keyboard layout is often called the piano keyboard.</p>
<p>The twelve notes of the Western musical scale are laid out with the lowest note on the left; the larger keys (for the seven &#8220;natural&#8221; notes of the C major scale: C, D, E, F, G, A, B) jut forward. Because these keys are often coloured white on a keyboard, these are often called the white notes or white keys. The keys for the remaining five notes which are not part of the C major scale (namely C#/D#, D#/E#, F#/G#, G#/A#, A#/B#) are set back. Because these keys are often coloured black, these notes are often called the black notes or black keys.</p>
<p>The pattern repeats at the interval of an octave. The arrangement of longer keys for C major with intervening, shorter keys for the intermediate semitones dates to the 15th century. Many keyboard instruments dating from before the nineteenth century have a keyboard with the colours of the keys reversed &#8211; darker coloured keys for the white notes and white keys for the black notes.</p>
<p>A few electric and electronic instruments have had this feature. It should be noted that the reverse-colored keys on Hammond organs such as the B3, C3 and A100 are not playable keys; they physically latch when pressed like radio buttons, and serve as selector switches for preset sounds. There are 21 white keys on the keyboard and 15 black.</p>
<p><strong>How to make a MIDI Keyboard</strong><br />
MIDI keyboard connects to computer sound card or synthesizer module to create MIDI code.</p>
<p>This Project is built around the 8031 microcontroller. Once keyboard circuit diagram is drawn out, one can construct scanning circuitry that continuously loops through a test of each key to see if it is open or closed.</p>
<p><strong>Circuit Components</strong><br />
Microcontroller, memory, keyboard/switch interface, MIDI/RS232 interface and power supply</p>
<p><strong>Software Algorithm</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The software loops through a check of each 1st switch for every key.</li>
<li>If it finds that switch 1 is open it checks to see if it was open the last time it looked. If this is the case it continues scanning.</li>
<li>If it finds that it is open but was closed the last time it looked then it stores info that it is now open and then sends the &#8220;note off value&#8221; for that key out the midi port.</li>
<li>If it finds that switch 1 is closed then it checks to see if switch 2 for that key is open.</li>
<li>If it is open then it increments the velocity register value and continues the scan. If it finds that switch 2 is closed then it checks a register to see if that note is already on. If so then it continues the scan.</li>
<li>If not then it sends the &#8220;note on value for that key out the midi port and also sends a velocity value from the velocity table that is incremented for each key check loop. Therefore, the more times that the software loops the lower the velocity value sent.</li>
</ul>
