MOTM

Slightly off thread but certainly MOTM related.

I just completed the construction of a set of MIDI bass pedals
to use with my synths.  MOTM connected me with the PSIM which
connected me with MIDI controllers and when I came across a
free set of Hammond bass pedals I couldn't resist.

I did a PCB design and ported a lot of my PSIM code to construct
a MIDI controller.  The cabinet is made out of poplar and matches
my MOTM cabinets.  I designed a Schaeffer front panel and used
gold.  It's a bright color.

Currently (as the software is never complete) it supports 6 modes
and 3 commands.

Modes:
Multi
Mono
Sticky (holds note until next key press)
Mono Arpeggiate
Sticky Arpeggiate (continues sequence until next key press)
One-shot Arpeggiate (always completes current sequence)

Commands:
Program Change
MIDI Channel
Panic (all notes off)

The arpeggiator currently contains 5 presets and one is programmable
up to 100 notes.

Next to implement is portamento and note duration for the
arpeggiator.
