I just want to start out by saying I haven't done many projects. I was wonder if it would be possible to make a midi controller that plays chords. It would be based on the Hammond s6 chord organ. Could this be a attainable project to pursue.
As most helpers don't have that organ at hand a link to its manual would surely help.
heres a service manual i found: http://bee.mif.pg.gda.pl/ciasteczkowypotwor/%23pro_audio/Hammond/HammondChordOrganServiceManual-ModelsSS1S4_text.pdf
"Is it possible to make a 96 key midi controller"
The difficult is usually done quickly, but the impossible takes a little longer.
Thanks for the link but it would take one hell of an entusiast to dig down in it and find out. I'm sorry but it's way behind my time, capacity, willingness to try.
It is not hard to get an Arduino to send to multiple notes (AKA Chords) over MIDI. It really isn't. The most tricky part is always to build a UI that can register what you want it to do. The action accordingly from that is not the problem. In fact, if you have a midi keyboard, you can register different notes and send whatever you want out, One not can play a chord + melody if you want it to.
Looking at that, yes it can be done, but i would start with a 37-key midi keyboard (or more keys, and chop the rest off. The programming is the least of the problem.
