FW: [sdiy] MIDI bass pedals update

[phillip m gallo]

Glen,

No beef with organs, i just think they are a different instrument requiring
a different "technique" so i don't like to confuse them directly with
synths.  They do share a lot of conceptual and actual technology.  I think
the inclusion of a mono voice into an organ makes an interesting instrument.
In the '70's when i worked on Baldwin Organs they included a simple
mono-voice with an arpeggiator and 8ve switching that should have really
livened up Grandma's parlor.

regards,
p

I believe there are some electronic organs with monotonic solo voices which
have portamento.

What do you have against organs? You do realize that they are actually
"synths" with a different name?
