DIY Midi pedalboard

[Nick] sent in this sweet midi pedal organ. [Seffan] modded an old set of organ pedals with the cheapest midi keyboard he could find. Each pedal was equipped with a switch mechanism, so it was just a matter of patience and wiring. To come up with enough wire for the job, he sacrificed some IDE cables. If you’ve ever played with some organ pedals, you know that these things can really add another dimension to music – especially with the newly added MIDI interface.

Oh man, motherfucker beat me to it. I’ve been wanting to do this for a LONG time. I’d love to find a nice vintage organ and gut it, replacing the shitty electronics with midi hookups and synthesizers.

Unfortunately, the wallet is not fat enough for that project at this time. I’ll have to check out this guy’s work. Say, i wonder if there are enough people doing this to warrant a website for other entheusiasts to share tips…
