Hello again, I only need one core module at the present time. However, I am confused about linking two cores together. Does the first have to be programed in a specific way or can I just forgot about that part for now and simply wire the two together at some time in the future? I guess, if I need to, I will buy both cores now and just leave the one assembled and blank... What do I do? PrairieOrganGuy

Hello, The keyboards are not installed in a console at the moment. They are going to be part of an instrument that will run hauptwerk. (an organ sampler) It is my hope to be able to use the five contacts under each key to drive several midi arrays sometime in the future. The keyboards will be built into a unit resembling a large synthesizer. There will be MIDI cables to another wood box that will contain the computer hardware. Thank you for your response. It is a tremendous help to know that I am on the right (if very steep) track. Drew

Hello, PrairieOrganGuy here. I am a journeyman organbuilder just beginning to make my way into MIDI. (It is a lot easier for me to troubleshoot the "for trade" stuff...but the prices are getting so outrageous....) Anyway, I have two organ keyboards that I wish to MIDIfy to run Hauptwerk. If I have read everything right, this is the basic parts list: One core module Five input modules Wires, Etc First, did I get the above right? Second, do I need to use matrix wiring for these? Parallel is much simpler to work with (and troubleshoot) How do I connect the input modules? Can I just run one wire from each key to an input module? Am I even asking the right questions? I have spent several days reading and reading the ucapps site, my head is swimming. Please be gentle.... PrairieOrganGuy PS the picture is of an instrument that went from electromechanical to full digital switching. The parts in the console alone cost around $4,000...there is another board in the attic that also cost about $4000. Now you know why I am really interested in the MIDIo128...
