<body><P>isn't it possible to use Midi-Yoke or other MIDI software to trigger any MIDI events by single note-ons? I'd say it's possible to find such a tool.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>If I had more time, I'd make a special PIC keybaord encoder with "chord memory" button, although it would be rather tricky to play a chord on pedelboard consisting of more than 2 notes. Another option would be to press a special button, like bypass switch on effect boxes, and while it's activated, all notes that are sequentially played, will form a chord when the button is released.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>IIRC someone on this list has recently done that, with beautifull wooden case and cute yellow control panel.</P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am wondering if there exists a pedal board that one could program to send out MIDI data for playing three or four note chords, one chord per pedal. It would be laid out like a guitarist's effects pedal board, but each pedal 'button' would sound a user-programmed chord via MIDI. The use would be similar to those chord buttons one finds on little Casio keyboards, or on a accordion, to allow someone who is standing up playing a bass or guitar to play padding chords with the feet. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does such a thing a thing exist, or would it be hard to make one (PIC, etc.) ?</FONT></DIV>
