What Came First: the Electric Guitar Or the Keyboard?

What came first: The electric guitar or the keyboard?

The first electrically amplified guitar was designed in 1931 by George Beauchamp, while keyboard pianos, (I am assuming you are referring to the piano because there are other instruments that are based off the keyboard) have been around since the 18th century. If you are talking about keyboard synthesizers, those first appeared in 1939 when the Hammond Novachord came out (I think)

X keyboard extension

In human-computer interfaces, the X keyboard extension or XKB is a part of the X Window System that extends the ability to control the keyboard over what is offered by the X Window System core protocol, and allows to use multiple keyboard layouts. Its main features are: enhanced support for modifiers (Alt, Shift, etc.); better treatment of key groups (typically keyboard layouts); extended control of keyboard indicators (LEDs) and bells; various new keyboard parameters (controls); association of actions (of a particular kind) to keys.XKB is composed of two parts: a server extension and a client library. Modern versions of Xlib contain XKB, which is active by default. Client programs not using this extension can deactivate it before connecting with the server, or can simply work normally as the extension simulates the core protocol by default. XKB is also used by Wayland compositors and kmscon.

Keyboard and controls

The Jupiter-50 is equipped with a 76-note/6 octave velocity-sensitive keyboard (no aftertouch). The front panel contains a large quantity of controls - including encoders, buttons, and sliders - but cannot be considered a "one knob - one function" interface, as controls may share functionality in different modes. Pitch/mod controls are combined via Roland's traditional lever.

Clean soda out of a keyboard [duplicate]

I used dishwasher method many many times on all kinds of keyboards. I don' know how Das Keyboard works inside, but I will provide some information on the dishwasher method, so you can determine if it's applicable. Basically, inside simple cheap keyboards, you have plastic case which, a simple printed circuit board, several sandwiched plastic sheets with conductors which connect to the PCB and a piece of rubber which goes between keys and plastic sheets. Plastic sheets are often wended together.The idea is to put the plastic case inside the dishwasher and wash it. I often clean the PCB itself with alcohol. Plastic sheets may be washed in dishwasher, but they should be left todry or they can work incorrectly. Since only the top sheet is exposed to elements, I usually clean only the top sheet with alcohol, since it evaporates quickly.The "rubber" part often looks to weak to me for dishwasher, so I clean it with warm water and then leave it to dry. The whole point of my exposition here is that the main damage which can be caused by dishwasher is not to electrical components but is simply mechanical damage. I've read this post and it seems that Das Keyboard is internally very different from classical keyboards. There is a picture of keyboard without key caps. To me it seems that the best way to clean the soda would be to detach the top part of the keyboard from the rest of the keyboard and only wash the top part in warm water or something similar. The downside is that you can easily wash away any lubricants that may have been used in the key assembly. Still, I believe that it is preferable to soda residue inside key mechanism. It is also possible that PCB will get wet, so you should let the keyboard dry in such position that air can circulate through the gap between keyboard and top part. Also, it would be smart to turn the keyboard few times while drying and to shake it few times because water can get into the small gaps between mechanical elements and stay there for some time
