TouchMini v1.1 (obsolete)

A small, round touch sensor. Contact pressure provides continuous control. Recommended for forces from 1 N (0.1 Kg, 0.2 lb) all the way upto 98 N (10 Kg, 22 lb). Active area is a 13 mm (0.51 inch) diameter disk. If you are just looking for a button check the TouchMiniOn.

And look it's part of a family. Here are it's relatives (note that some of these sensors have a different response curve):

Application examples

  1. Use as a touch sensor for a synthesizer.
  2. Can be easily worn or applied to a variety of flat surfaces. Blow Laurie Anderson, Marillion and others away. Trigger those samples!
  3. May be used to design your own fretless base. Use for capturing slaps while the SlideLong functions as your pitch controller. A GForce2D-2 will help you accentuate your tones when you move the stem upright.
  4. Can be used in your custom wind instrument design. Use for buttons, while using a Slide for octave control and a GForce3D-3 to capture body movements.
  5. Create a fancy control panel by combining with SlideWide, SlideLong, Push2D, TouchMiniOn and Reach sensors, to name a few.
