Midifizise Organ Bass Pedal Board

Hi,

I want to use an organ floorboard to control a synth with my feet (I’m playing guitar but as I was playing keyboard for a long time, I’m still fascinated by synth background sounds - but can’t play them :-X)

A Midi organ board costs more than 250 EUR. So I want to add Midi functionality to a ‘normal’ organ board, what can be bought for less (also I like my solder iron  ;D). To make it clear: It is a normal Keyboard layout with 13 keys from C to C’ and every key simply works like a button.

My question:

  1. Is it possible to use a core modul with a digi(or analog?)-in modul and a certain configuration to send the note on / note off Midi signals to my synth-host (I don’t want touch/velocity detection or how it’s called in english, just a simple)?

  2. Can I also use transpose up und down by two additional buttons?

  3. Can I set a fixed key velocity by a poti for all events?

  4. What about aftertouch (also fixed value for all events)?

  5. Do I have to set up anything on my own or is there already somebody who has done equal work?

THX you all,

Dennis
