Subject:B4 Control Surface Preview

I have just uploaded a preview photo of my recently designed and
created B4 control surface.

It is in the album Obxwindsurf's B4 Control Surface.

This is the real-time controller I'd posted about recently. Since
schematics and run-time software was in a state of flux I decided it
was premature to release any of that until it was in a more final
state. The above gives you an idea of how the unit looks before I
post it on my web page.

Controls are as follows:

Left side:
Bank Select
Program Select
Preset enable switch (switches between presets and "live" controls)

Top Row Right:
Vib-Lower, Vib-Upper, V/C switch
Bottom Row Right:
Percussion, Overdrive, Rotor On/Off, Velocity

The half moon switch is actually a main/ensemble/echo switch and the
middle position will allow a footswitch plugged into the rear to
control this function. No foot switch and the left and right
positions are slow and fast respectively.

Status:

Final assembly is nearly complete. All MIDI transmission software
modules are tested with an exerciser which operates the following
controls.

Swell, Great, Pedal drawbars
Presets
Percussion, Drive, Rotor, Velocity, and Fast/Slow switches
V/C switch
Vib-upper, Vib-lower controls.

Reading the controls and using the values to drive midi has been
tested as well.

Will post more updates as they become available.

Regards,
Kevin
