    Love the design of the organ, very different than what you usually see. Looks strangely modern for something nearly 50 years old lol

    Thank you for making this video. This is the type of innovation that the whole world needs I'll be honest with you.
    And thank you again. If you could give a video on how to add a midi in or a midi out to an existing MIDI controller that would be tremendous.

      I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😄
      Do you mean as in adding a MIDI port to a USB based controller? 🤔

      It would be difficult to do without redesigning the whole thing since they run on different communication protocols. Could be done, but not really worth it imo 😆

    When opening the bottom panel, put a dowel rod or something in one of the air holes to pull open without clipping the edge with fingers. Much easier.

    Nice! You can probably save that vibrato/tremolo circuit too. 👌

    good shit, this video will be used by many to wrap their heads around how to do this exact thing themselves.

    I am going to use a master and slave Arduinos. Using a multi0lexer you may be able to use both keyboars and load it back into the original case.

    Interesting project! Are those keys binary or do they have separate make / break for sensing velocity?

    • @sebbothebushnerd
      @sebbothebushnerd  2 роки тому

      James! Good to hear from you man! Nah it's just a binary signal (At this stage), but would be good to look into some velocity sensing!
      Currently going through the "feature creep" stage, so things keep getting added to the list 😆

      @@audiodood I have a decent mock of what I want with a cheap Yamaha. But the 73 key is a unique number of keys virtually impossible to find digital. I have the head unit hidden under the top of the fender. I’ve been hesitant about cutting a face in it but overall it’s been worth keeping around and messing with the original keys weren’t to hard to replace last I looked and the important part was I damaged I have stored. So it’s up in the air but looks good and makes sound for now.

    I would have just used a few 74HC595 shift registers and an Arduino Nano to acheive this. A Mega is a bit overkill really.

      Depends if you want more complicated hardware/software at the cost of a few less wires 😆
