PipKey v3

This iteration of the “PipKey” MIDI instrument largely takes inspiration from concertinas and aims to improve the ideas discovered after “finishing” the v2. The PipKey v3 is designed to wirelessly connect to MIDI sequencing software and have several different operating modes to play in various scales, linearly (like a piano), or by position (like a stringed instrument). The combination rotary switch and scissor-lift/pantograph-esque mechanism in the center allows the instrument to rotate and expand/contract for better control of MIDI note velocity/pitch-bending as well as emulate switching between strings on, say, a cello/guitar.

Essentially, v3 is supposed to take the Wii Nunchuck's analog bindings from v2 and make them digital/ergonomic, and therefore faster/easier to activate simultaneously. The addition of the rotary switch and scissor lift provides more options for controlling more operating modes in unique ways. It also works well with the two-handed form factor and adds a fun l
