Keybord with PC and Mercury-4 installed

[pkallback]

Has anybody tried to make a keyboard with all knobs and slides for Mecury-4?
My idea was to diy a keyboard with all knobs and slides for the Mercury-4, have a PC-card with e.g. Windows 10 installed together with the Mercury-4 and use MIDI interface for all knobs and slides as input to Mercury-4.
In this way it should be possible to have a playable synthesizer with full hardware.

Hi,
You can take x midi keyboards and do it. Where is the problem?

It sounds like the goal is a hardware keyboard with 1-to-1 correspondence, not just mapping any keyboard to all the parameters,

That's correct Steve! I just wonder if this idea sounds good and if somebody else would be interrested of such thing.
