That's that same system components I have used for lighted drawknobs. With the drawknobs, there are 2 contacts. Pull for
turn on and push for
turn off.
Further, since the BBS-1K controls 64 (input) contacts, I use the split feature. That is inputs 1 - 32 are set up for
note on while inputs 33 - 64 operate as
note off. One BBS-1K for each side (up to 32 drawknobs) with a single MIDECO to control the (up to) 64 LEDs. The BBS1Ks and the MIDECO are set to the same MIDI channel, in my case, I used channel 8. I should add, using the BBS-1Ks, I aligned the starting note for each half (1 - 32 and 33 - 64) using the transposition feature built into MIDI Hardware encoders. Also of importance, the BBS-1K boards do not respond to Global Transposition, another MIDI-Hardware available feature. Up to 2 - BBS-1K boards can be daisy chained thus using a single input of a MRG2 master control. Once you program the BBS-1K boards they need to remain connected to the same MRG2 input as the non-volatile memory is stored in the MRG2 , not on the BBS-1K board.
Works very well along with using LITSWs for the lighted thumb (and toe) pistons.
Also I use the MOTU Ultralite AVB at the console to extend the 24 audio channels via AVB ethernet using a single CATe (shielded) cable to the MOTU 24Ao at the speaker/amp location 150ft - 75m from the console. This arrangement permits the HW computer to remain at the console location not needing to extend MIDI..
