First picture upload - be easy on me...
Trying to finally begin the modification of my Rodgers 645 pedals for use with Hauptwerk Advanced Version with an expression and crescendo pedal / 3 midiclassic keyboards in a custom console. First pic is just of the 3 color wires; seem blue is common to the reed switches, green goes to the individual reed switches (they all work), but is the yellow for? Seems on the far end of this plate it's just cut off. I guess at this point it's insignificant?..
2nd pic - I guess this is the famous "buss bar" I've exposed I read about sometimes (it's common to all the reed switches)?
I've heard I need to snip each connection for modification? Any literature how to modify this? I've heard of midi-boutique but don't know what board I need to get this rig all hooked up to work with Hauptwerk. I did earn a 3.9 in electronic engineering in 1981 at Control Data Institute but all I do now is sit around and tell people how to fix there 20 petabyte storage arrays...
These are all the wires... I guess I can jerk the yellow wire out as it was used with something on the 645 the pedals were removed from?..
Last but not least - the entire reed plate that mounts to the pedal board.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've checked the Classic Midi Works site - they have a kit that has switches, board and wiring but here I've got all that already...... isn't there a cheaper alternative to get this working?..
Thanks for looking,
Mark
