People writing about pedalboards reminded me of a little project I was
planning to get working on. I bought a single octave pedalboard off of
ebay a few months ago. It is off of a hammond organ. I want to make it
into a midi controller so that it is unable. I don't really know where
to start though. Does anybody know of a good resource of the subject.
Thanks, Greg.

Maybe get a cheap MIDI or USB keyboard with broken keys, and take it apart, and just wire
the keyboard keys up to the pedal keys?

A colleague of mine who builds digital organs professionally did
something similar, except he didn't take apart the USB MIDI device -
he built a pedal board out of wood and connected the pedals to the
keys using string and eye bolts. Very impressive - it reminded me of
the scene in Goonies where Data has to play the bone organ to escape

This is the way I have been leaning. I think it will be the easiest
way.

Thanks, Greg.
Audiomulch has some nice projects to do this using a PIC controller.
