This MIDI controller electronic board is suited for use in medium organ setups. By itself it works with 2 keyboards and a few additional controls, but in most expanded version it covers 384 contacts in
up to six keyboards, plus 80 inputs for special functions, swell pedals and potentiometers.
It is main component of various organ configurations and by adding few scanners it can be sized according to user's needs.
Typical application is conversion of old organ consoles to MIDI, making them playable with Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ especially that it is capable of displaying text messages from Hauptwerk when equipped with LCD panels.
Together with pedal controller it is all you need for most common organ console consisting of 2 keyboards,
pedals and expression pedals, including performance controls like volume control, octave jumps, and more. It may be as well used as single board solution in custom MIDI controller keyboard
or VST control surface.
Features:
The board shown above has 2 16-pin IDC headers for 2 keyboards, 10-pin header for potentiometers and another 10-pin header for user defined special functions switches. All of them are predefined with usable functions, but every input can be changed by user by a few keypad clicks. 4 smaller whitish connectors are for MIDI OUT and IN cables, as well as scanners (i.e. additional keyboards, displays, or potentiometers). If you are familiar with other controllers from MIDI-hardware, this can be compared to a half of MRG2 with one DMS-2K, one POT8 and a bit more
