Now, you make it a reality! After you have decided on the proper computer and midi keyboards, there are several other things to consider. Your Hauptwerk shopping list: 1. The Pedalboard. Yes, you can get a used pedalboard, but then you have to midify it by adding reed switches. Otherwise, you can get a Classic Midi Works pedalboard and then can consider their swell shoes. (For a pedalboard light, there are all sorts of under-the-counter plug-in light fixtures available in the states at Lowe’s and Home Depot. Should you need it, there are lots of possibilities to choose from.) 2. Swell Shoes and Toe Studs. First, I should mention that you can get fine looking and feeling swell shoes from Classic Midi Works. (If you want to buy Classic Midi Works’ Swell Shoes – make sure that you buy their pedalboard. The Swell shoes are specifically designed for it and may not work on any other.) However, if the feel of the swell shoes is not that important to you, but you would like to have a few toe studs, you can get two swell pedals thrown in with the extremely reasonable Behringer foot controller FCB1010. (As I write this it is $149.) http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/FCB1010.aspx Thank the guitarists of the world for the toe controllers that are on the market today. trick is figuring how to mount these toe controllers so that you can easily access them from the pedalboard. See examples in the Midi Gallery pages on the MidiWorks website. http://www.midiworks.ca/gallery/index.asp If you want to buy toe stud bolsters with studs (like on a pipe or digital organ) from an organ service man or do it yourself it is certainly possible. See John Bennett’s information below. OK, so you want the Classic Swell Shoes, and don’t want swell shoes combined with your toe studs. There is another option which you can consider -- from another guitar accessory source: Rocktron. http://www.rocktron.com/products/controllers/midiraider/ Although the Midi Raider is more expensive than the Behringer, (around $ 399, as I write this), it is far easier to program, and it can do anything you ever dreamed of doing with a toe stud. (The Behringer 10
offers you 10 banks of 10 toe studs and the Rocktron offers you 12 banks of 15 toe switches. Try finding that in a toe stud bolster! Even though the Rocktron switches don’t look like toe studs, they perform well. Again, the secret is in the mounting. To see how I mounted it go to: http://www.randallmullin.com/my_hauptwerk_pictures.htm Beware: Some toe controllers, like MidiBuddy, only allow you to program all of the toe studs to a single channel, set by tiny dip switches. This would limit you to all Generals, all Pedal pistons, all couplers, etc. In contrast, the Midi Raider allows each toe switch to be programmed to any channel, which can be easily changed. How a fellow Hauptwerkian, John Bennett, incorporated toe studs (and touchscreens): see his setup pictures here: http://n4xi.smugmug.com/Other/hauptwerk/20756101_DtmjSV#!i=1647269151&k=5Fw8TrR “Purchased everything (except materials for the boards and wiring) from Classic Midi Works. I really looked around quite a bit and their prices on the studs was the most reasonable. They are Klann studs and much cheaper than you can get them from Klann. The interface board also comes from Classic. I first did the layout in CAD. As I actually did the placement on the boards I had to make some changes which I have yet to apply to the CAD drawing itself. I can provide more details and an updated drawing if you want. It just might take me awhile to get it done.

Have not used them much yet, but have no complaints. The LH side are generals 1-8. The RH side bottom are pedal 1-4 (I have 1-8 mapped on the Solo manual) and the top three I have not quite decided yet. Will probably label them ancillary and program them as needed. Right now I am considering making the one closest to the expression pedal a stepper, the second programmable, and third Sfz.” 11
