First steps towards a VPO

He he he, yes I have the answer. MyOrgan can use Note On/Note Off messages too ;-)
You can set it in the ODF with the 'StopControlMIDIKeyNumber=nnn' parameter.

I have made my own MIDI board using PIC Microchips with 120 Midi note on/note off connections. This will leave me with a nice number of 'contoller' messages after midifying my 32 pedal AGO board.

Have fun!

That will give you a really useful number - enough for individual stop control presumably? I want Midi pistons, but I'm going to make do with the computer keyboard for stops at the moment.
Best wishes, John

I'm on the same quest as you. I have had a torrid time using two Yamaha PSR keyboards with Hauptwerk and Miditzer. I saw that Yamahas need their own midi-usb adaptor, the UX16-1 and bought one. It works ok. I also bought a cheap LogiLink USB Midi cable and it didn't seem to know it shouldn't work with Yamahas, and it does just as well, it seems. I am now waiting for a 37 key USB midi keyboard controller to arrive. This one is for me to configure as the 'pedalboard', then, if it works, I want to wire the key contacts to reed switches on the pedalboard I am about to make. I am just hoping I can plug these items straight into my USB hub. That's how I have the two keyboards, each on a separate USB port. The adaptors provide their own drivers.
I'll let you know how i get on.
