Midi

Thank you Peewee!!!!! I always thought it was a miracle ANYBODY ever bothered to make a MIDI interface for steel, and now I know it was due to one persistent fellow....
too bad there wasn't a market for it (besides you and me and a handful of other guys)...

Steelers are already a niche market, and when you segment that further into the ones adventurous enough to try the newfangled MIDI thing no wonder IVL couldn't keep it up...

I'd be willing to put some time and maybe even some money into an effort to support Mike Brewer and/or others to get a new Midi unit produced.

Two requirements: it needs to be an organized, realistic effort and it needs to have a leader (other than me) with skills and time to devote.

I have an entire 'guitarorchestra' setup. Does this thing use the IVL pickup? I've had it for a few years and stuck it in the closet due to the issues that Earnest refers to. I was interested in recording piano/organ parts, but I found that a) it was easier for me to pick out the parts on a keyboard than to make it do what I wanted, and b) I found that I greatly prefer the sound of 'analogue' instruments (e.g. acoustic piano or B3) to even the very best sound modules I tried.

Anyway, if anybody is interested in this system I'd be glad to part with it. It includes the pickup (IVL???), converters, sound module (Roland something or other) and all the manuals. I guess I'll post this on buy and sell. For the right person, this would be an awesome system, but I just found it too frustrating to use, and the results not all that interesting (to me).
