Twice in one day. That doesn’t happen often. Anyway, here are some pictures to brighten your dreary December afternoon. Readers who have any tendency towards obsessive tidiness should look away now.
This nest of vipers is where the thumb pistons are connected to the MIDI hardware. I need to trim the wires, but the experience of wiring the pistons up was so traumatic that I don’t want to trim to length until I’m absolutely certain that I won’t need to move anything.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the console, you can see the temporary 18VDC (top) and 12VDC power supplies, and the MIDI splitter (from midiboutique.com), the purpose of which will become clear eventually.
Finally, for anyone wondering what a drawstop looks like with its clothes off, I hope this satisfies you. The boards on the bottom right are the MIDI interface, with each controller board (right) driving up to 32 stops.
