I also saw that demo in Buffalo, and as I recall, the keys had no actual
moving parts, but were differential pressure sensitive in two horizontal
dimensions. The outputs could be used, eg, for pitch bending in one dimen=
sion
and filter tuning in the other. The fine details of the scheme are obscu=
red
in the mists of time.
