Thanks for the feedback on my questions. These components are being considered for midyfying another three manual VTPO. My interests are diminished in knowing that there are no complete kits available, yet all who have used these components speak very highly of their capabilities. Thanks again. Jim Pitts

I am trying to obtain information on Midio 128 version 3 and MBHP-Core-LPC17: Are these available as individual kits and how are they priced? I e-mailed SmashTV with these questions and the mail bounced. Any help appreciated Jim Pitts

Pete, thanks for your in-depth reply. Your suggestions generally confirm my rough draft of needed components but your explanation identifies some things I overlooked. This will get me started on building the various components and getting the console MIDIfied. I have already done the 8x8 diode matrices for the three manuals and pedals, including the floating matrices for Second Touch. I'm sure I will have many questions as this project progresses. Initially I will rely on touch screen/piston registration but eventually will add SAMS or their equivalent. Thanks again for the help. I really appreciate the detailed outline. Jim Pitts

After much delay (actually, years) I am returning to the building of my VTPO. It will consist of three manuals and 32-note pedalboard, second touch on Pedal, Accompaniment, and Great. The configuration I am considering will include a total of sixty (60) pistons plus a General Cancel, two (2) Swell shoes, and Crescendo. Other additions will come later. What MIDIbox components will I need to convert this configuration to MIDI? I have researched the Forum and WIKI but would like for 'the voice of experience' to confirm my requirements. Thanx, Jim Pitts
