This board is most usable in organ emulators for stops/pistons control. It takes care of 24 contacts and every one of them is paired with LED driver. This is to enable the use of momentary normally-open switches to work as bistable lighted stops/pistons. One press of a button lights up associated LED, and sends appropriate message to the main MIDI controller. Next button press turns the light off and again sends the message to MIDI controller. Part of the inputs can be assigned to work in 1-of-many mode, where pressing one button light up associated LED, and turns off the other ones in the group. Although most intended for stop control, it can be used as any other scanner/expander


Features:

  • scans 24 contacts
  • drives 24 LEDS at typical current of 3mA (high efficiency LEDs recommended)
  • user defined split point for independent, and 1-of-many group of buttons
  • can be used as banks/programs unit, with rows of buttons for "tens" and "units"
  • ability to be used as CC scanner - every input can then have independent MIDI event and channel
  • usable with all midi-hardware.com controllers
  • LEDs can be driven by MIDI if connected to MIDI-IN-capable controller
  • dimensions: 93x22mm (3.7''x0.87'')
  • more marketing talk
