I think I will dump all my projects concerning a B4-controller because of that:

We’ll see. I would have liked to built it on my own, but the prices are pretty cheap.

Very nice!  But I like your wish to have LED bars.  Price looks OK.  I wonder how that will translate into dollars…  Availability?

“We hope that the organ keyboard (temporary name B4M) will be available late summer 2004. In fall 2004 the control unit (temporary name B4C) will follow.”

I am not completely satisfied with that solution but for me it is a good compromise for on stage assumed that the keyboard has velocity. You can`t built it yourself for that price because of the waterfall keyboard’s price. It liked to have one for my new band (funk soul).

But I will say it again: If I would life in the US, I would try to get 2 manuals from an old hammond organ and built a B4 controller based on MIDIbox for home use only.  With a nice B3ish wood cabinet, 4 drawbar sets (2 for upper, 1 lower, 1 pedal), a real half moon Leslie switch and maybe a pull out drawer for all other controllers that I don’t need so often. Not to forget the bass pedal in order to learn jazz organ.

But we all need dreams !  ;)
