Way cool, guys! Way cool! ------------------------------------------
A few points to consider, though.
--------------------------------------------
We'll want to use MIDI when recording, and that includes using MIDI for all controls such as drawbars, percussion, swell, drive, and scanner.
------------------------------------------------------------
The control module doesn't have quick access to some important controls (esp, drive). Those of us who have a Native Instruments B4D controller, Roland VK8-M module, or similar, would want to use those units to control the B-Free. (The B4D might be cheaper for you to buy than to make your own controller, btw.)
Those of us with older MIDI hammond clones like the earlier Korgs, with MIDI controls for drawbars, etc., will want to use those old keyboards with the B-Free.
------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure the best way, but some way to program what MIDI command each control responds to would be far better than a proprietary control module.
------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, let us get rid of the half-moon switch! Put another 1/4'' jack on the front panel that connects to the Leslie speed control, which we can then control via MIDI.
-----------------------------------------------------------
A few changes like this and you'll have all the programmability of latest generation instruments, but using authentic vintage hardware to generate the sound! The best of both worlds.
------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks guys and good luck!
