MIDI Control of Large Pipe Organs

Sounds like an interesting project. There at least 2 other companies that I know of who offer a MIDI system for pipe organ and other keyboard instruments. The pipe organ systems however, are not entirely compatible with the MIDI specs. and do such obnoxious things as send swell shutter positions as note on and note off messages (sheesh! should be expression messages).

I'll be checking your web page and you might consider making it a comercial product since there is so much interest in MIDIizing pipe organs these days.
