Ultimate MIDI Controller for Your Castle


via this auction

This one in via Alex.

"Antique Bridgeport organ which was digitally modified by Pro organ technician. Organ has now 61 semi weighted keys, every key is touch sensitive(you can control volume/brighteness by your playing fingers) All stops have numbers from 1 to 11(hard to see in video).By rotating first stop you can control volume, 2nd stop(push in) is power switch ON and OFF, 3rd stop is grand piano, 4th stop is electropiano1, 5th stop is electropiano2, 6th stop is organ 1, 7th stop is organ 2, 8th stop is strings, 9 and10 stops are harpsichords, 11th stop gives you variety of sounds. let's say if you push 3rd stop grand piano with 11 stop you'll get different sound of grand piano OR if you push in 8 stop strings and 11th stop you'll get vibraphone sound etc. The organ has 2 speakers, pedals on a bottom functions now as sustain pedal(right one, left one is locked). Organ also has MIDI IN and OUT, so you can use the organ as a controller or hook up other keyboard or computer. Under the hood is Yamaha NP series guts. Dimentions: 68" High, 48"wide including handles, 23" deep. Made in late 19' century."

New Custom Hardware Controller for the iPad by Len Burge with a Built-In Moog Minitaur


Early Animoog Test Published on Dec 8, 2015 Len Burge

From the man who brought us the custom iVCS3 controller we now have a new controller with a built in Moog Minitaur. Note in the video above iOS is running Animoog while below it is running iMini.

"This early test was to see if two controllers could work with multi USB and camera connection. It works if I use app called midi bridge and make animoogs setup think the two controllers are one."

Custom Wood MIDI Keyboard 25 Key 4U Rackmount Case

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"What we have here is a one of a kind 25 key MIDI controller built into a nice custom wooden case that's meant to be used with any desktop rackmounted synthesizer modules or similar device. The rack is 4U in size and can accommodate most rackmount desktop synthesizers out there including:

Nord Lead 1, 2, 2X, 3, 4 Rack (Nord Lead 1 pictured but not included)
Nord Modular G1, G2
Access Virus Classic, B, C, TI
Roland M1 Rack
Korg MS 20 Rack
Dave Smith Prophet 8 Rack
Elektron A4
Elektron Monomachine
Elektron Octatrack
Future Retro XS
Moog Minitaur
Moog Slim Phatty

and many many more!

You could even mount a 3U Eurorack rig into the case with a MIDI>CV module and have one killer portable Eurorack system (and enough for a space of 1U modules left over)! The case is pretty deep inside and should accommodate most modules.

The keyboard controller inside the unit is an Alesis Q25 and features both pitch bend and modulation wheels as well as octave up/down buttons. The back of the keyboard can be accessed from the rear of the case and includes a USB port, MIDI out jack, and power supply jack.

This is the perfect thing for a musician with lots of rack gear but little way to use them in a live situation or while outside the studio. Very nice build and a great keyboard to boot, just pop in a synthesizer module and go!

You can power the keyboard using USB or AC power. Auction includes USB cable and AC power adapter (the power adapter does not work however and is only included as a reference so you can buy the correct power adapter)."
