I can't reply to him via e-mail, 'cause I can't send to an address that has more than one '@' in it. Jason: There is, as far as I know, no stand-alone MIDI pedalboard of even 25 notes that is available commercially. I have heard of several spinet-style "shorty" pedalboards, but I doubt they have velocity, and in any case are totally worthless for real organ music. There are a number of electronic organs with MIDI, but now we're talking *REAL* money. As far as drum pads go, I'm out of my league here. I've seen several MIDI drum controllers, including the Roland Octapad and the DrumKat, but I don't know how adjustable they are. BTW, I got velocity working on my pedalboard, and preliminary studies indicate that velocity is rather difficult to control with the feet. -- Ed Edward.Stauff@OFFICE.Wang.com
