Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a circuit for a MIDI controller that may be used with keyboard and drawbar interfaces provided by a variety of models of drawbar-type electric organs. Such a circuit may be connected to numerous different configurations of drawbar-type organ interfaces having differing numbers of keys, switches, and drawbars, as well as stand-alone units having only keys and drawbars, only foot pedals and drawbars, or only drawbars. Embodiments of the present invention further provide a method for determining the position of each drawbar of a drawbar-type organ interface using binary logic.
