Single Bus Encoder

Description

The Hauptwerk Hardware Single Bus Encoder is a device designed to easily connect keyboards that have a single common connection (bus) running along one side of all the keys, and single wires coming from the other side of each key, originally connecting them to the organ electronics. It has the capacity for four keyboards as well as a single swell pedal. It is most suited for the smaller organ where it would usually have two manuals connected as well as a full pedal-board. This configuration then leaves 90 further inputs that can be used for stops and pistons.
