Hello,
New to posting here but a relatively close follower of the forum for a little while. I'm getting close to being able to afford to build a HW setup at last. A very important part of it for me is the manuals, which really need to be the organ kind with full length keys. I've looked around quite a lot at various ways of midifying an existing manual stack but am not convinced I'd be able to regulate the firing point with any precision. This may be a question mostly for organ builders, but does anyone have any experience using OSI keyboards? It would be a substantial outlay of course but I really don't want to get this part wrong. This may be a silly question but what kind of interface do new organ manuals use? Would a stack come already wired to a connector of some kind (I assume this would not normally be MIDI?) or is it a question of soldering wires to contacts? I assume OSI has had at least some dealings with the HW market, but does anyone know how normal it would be for them to supply a manual stack wired for MIDI? I assume they can do anything for a price, but I'm really wondering whether this would be something standard, or whether I'd be paying a premium on top of the keyboards themselves for an unusual job.
Many thanks!
David
