ODEON MIDI Combi (Combined Organ system)
This development was brought about because of the various requests from builders of small organs like the John Smith organ, for a small integrated system.
But like anything I do it grew Like TOPSY!
This is my cheapest complete system. SD Midi Player and Magnet Driver in one Small board.
Why have a SD Midi Player & a seperate Midi to Magnet decoder for small organs, especially when you only want to trigger a few notes, & no automatic Registers?
Midi Note
Configuration has to be done by MGRM, it is not configurable by You, but for later development (as your organ grows, it can be sent back to me for re-programming.)
You can select the Midi Channel 1-16 that you want the unit to respond to, but that is the only user configuration available
apart from the number of notes.
Top: Complete for 24 notes Bottom: Additional note add on boards
Basically plug and play you just have to wire them to a suitable power supply, and the magnets
within your organ.
Buy from me and My advice is free!
Listed below are all the single components that make up an Odeon Combi system.
