Thanks for the tip. But don't hold back from the details - that's what I'm here for. The lightbulb was an initial idea but LEDs are fine.

Hi there -- I'm currently working on making a simple MIDI organ pedal by using the parts from an old Casio keyboard hooked up to a set of Hammond organ pedals. I'd like to give this project a little aesthetic appeal...what I'm envisioning is using a plexiglass top on my pedal board casing so the 'guts' can be seen. No problem there. However, I'd like to have a light be triggered inside the casing when a midi note is triggered. I'd be satisfied if it were a single light or a set of lights. I'm thinking about using a small lightbulb rather than an LED - something that can be seen from the crowd but not be too distracting. Would anyone know how I might do this?

Hi there -- I'm a newbie at some of this but hopefully I can find some help. I'm looking to make a DIY midi organ pedal for playing keys with my feet while playing guitar or something else w/ my hands. With that said, I have seen a couple posts out on the internet about this project and it seems like there's a million ways to do it. I'm asking you pros out there to help me design a pedal that... 1. Is capable of hooking up to a master keyboard via midi (Akai MPK 49 or MicroKorg synth) to control these instruments 2. Can trigger notes and or midi assignments (simple stuff) 3. Velocity OPTIONAL 4. Can transpose with my master keyboard to trigger multiple octaves (I think this is already accomplished on the master keyboard but thought I'd post it anyways) CONCEPT: I have a set of Hammond M3 pedals (each key has its own wire connected). I'm thinking about getting a cheap Casio or some other inexpensive MIDI keyboard and gutting it and connecting the Hammond pedals to the Casio circuitry. Is this possible? Would this unit need to be powered? Any help is appreciated!
