Swell Pedal Encoder

Description

The Hauptwerk Hardware Swell pedal Encoder is a device designed to easily connect swell and effects pedals to your virtual organ setup. It works with Hauptwerk, Grand Orgue and other virtual organ software. It has 8 analogue inputs which can be used for pedals or any other analogue control such as master volume. It generates the necessary Midi signals as your analogue pedals or controls are operated, and transmits these to the computer or synth via the legacy industry standard 5 pin DIN connection. It is easy to use and suitable for anyone with a basic knowledge of electronics and capable of soldering to a reasonable standard. Many commercial organs are fitted with a Midi Out port which can be used to control a virtual organ such as Hauptwerk or Grand Orgue, but a surprising number of these do not have their swell pedals connected to their Midi sub-system. You can add a Swell Pedal Encoder so that you have Midi control of your virtual organ’s analogue functions from your commercial organ.
