Well, further developments - although only ickle ones.
Swell/crescendo pedals. That's what we're talking about now. Bet you're excited aren't you?
What is a swell pedal. It's dead easy, it's a volume pedal. Nowt more to it than that really. The crescendo pedal, however is a little more complicated. That adds more stops the more you push it forward. So if it's right back, it's very soft but if you push it all the way forward you get 'full organ'. It's basically a quick way of pulling out all of the stops. The pedals just look like sewing machine pedals. There are pictures further down on the original posting.
Now you know all about that I can explain what I'm on about. Because the pedals are part of a virtual instrument they also need to have midi connections. Sent off to Ron Coates to do the complex stuff, they arrived looking all lovely. That's where it all started to go downhill! I've been trying to configure them to the organ setup I've got and have managed to get nowhere. I do know that they're sending the signal but it isn't being recognised by the software. Oh well, keep trying. I'll check back in with you once it is done shall I?
If I don't get chance to say it before, 'Happy Christmas for 2010!'
