DIY MIDI Program Changer with Note Filter

via the audioMIDIblog where you'll find the full post. Pretty cool...

"For our live setup, one of the keyboard players in my band plays my MIDI’d Prophet-5 along with an Alesis Ion. One really annoying detail of the Ion is that it’s really a bitch to change patches quickly on it (before you write and tell us how incompetent we are, try doing it in the roughly one second time period between a verse and a chorus, while continuing to play something with your other hand). You can either hit one of the tiny, poorly located, poorly labled up/down buttons, or you can take your chances with the inc/dec knob and hope you don’t overshoot it by turning it too far. Now, the humble Prophet-5 has eight BIG, LED-lit program select buttons right by the keyboard that you CAN’T miss- much better."
