maybe Jeff from signal arts (http://home.eol.ca/~jeffry/satkbd.htm) could help you out. If I understand correctly, he has boards to convert keyswitch data to midi data. If that doesn't work, you might be able to find a Yamaha shs-10 really cheap on ebay ( I paid $5 for mine at a garage sale) It's a mini keyboard that looks like a small version of a Roland AX-1 (lol) but it has midi. you could slice and dice one of these for the electronics. the nice thing is it'll run off batteries or a wall wart. -Nate

Subject: [motm] OT - Wanted: MIDI guts

I just bought a bass-pedal keyboard on eBay:

This is just the keyboard switches essentially.  I would like to take the
guts out of an old broken keyboard so that I can make this a simple MIDI
keyboard.

Anyone out there have anything that they want to sell cheap?
