	AGO pedalboard - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation AGO pedalboard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The AGO pedalboard is a specification for the pedalboard on a pipe organ.
		The specification is similar to the British RCO Pedalboard of the Royal College of Organists.
		Prior to the widespread adoption of the AGO pedalboard, there was considerable variation in number, spacing, and geometry from one organ to the next.

	dictionary - Pedalboard
		Pedalboard is the name of a large keyboard at the base of an electronic or pipe organ console that the organist plays with her feet.
		Twenty-five and thirty-two note boards are the sign of a pipe or console organ; with these (especially the twenty-five note board) the organist may also confine her right foot to the expression pedal (or, with larger instruments, expression pedals), but they are designed to be played with both feet for optimum efficiency.
		With shorter pedalboards designed to be played primarily with the left foot, for instance, the organist often greatly restricts or entirely omits the use of her heel, working the pedals with light touches of her toes; this allows her to range up and down the pedalboard quickly.

		The second piece that came with the pedalboard was a long contact plate with little flexible metal poles, likely used at one time in the original organ console as switches to create an electric circuit.
		If you notice, the pedalboard is 2.5 octaves and the keyboard is 3 octaves, both starting on C. The extra notes can optionally be wired to additional controller buttons at a later time that I could mount on top of the pedalboard to perform programmed functions such as changing stop combinations in mid-performance.
		It was apparent that the pedalboard was designed as a modular piece of equipment, as it was in no way permanently mounted on the chassis of the console.

		One option is to have both a AGO and BDO pedalboard made for this instrument at the same time, thus you would have the best of both worlds....ease of playing for whichever you preferred and protecting the resale value/if you where to ever sell the organ in the US.
		Drop a plumb line from the front of the keyboards to the center of the pedalboard and measure the distance to the tips of the pedal sharps.
		This, BTW, is why the AGO board is such a bear: the sharps tend to be rather far forward.

		In practical terms, AGO specifications means 32 pedals (C-G), though 30 or even 27 notes may be enough; and full-length (around 30") pedals, not the stubby spinet-style things.
		So, the purpose of the project was to obtain, at a reasonable cost, a MIDI pedalboard on which "the literature" could be performed.
		Where to get a pedalboard: -------------------------- I also had an old 3rd or 4th-hand pedalboard on hand which I acquired some years ago by being in the right place at the right time.

	Wendy Carlos--WurlyII-1
		It was a five manual, with AGO pedalboard, custom instrument for his home studio, which planted a seed for what became "Wurly II." Talk about the serendipity of life, at least when the magic is behaving itself.
		Since the pedalboard is not as wide as an 88-note keyboard, the rightmost 22-note board was not needed, and all its sensors were left in place.
		The customized pedalboard had to sit 2" up in the air on the synth stand's legs and a sturdy foam block, which made playing quite constricted, but this was only a temporary setup, after all.

		AGO specifications are as different as night and day.
		What is labeled as being built to AGO specs may vary but there is an AGO spec which will provide a definitive starting point.
		It must be something else, because when I put the pedalboard on, there is a cipher of about 10 notes in the pedal register.

		One may first sit down and become impressed by the musical properties of the instrument at hand, although the mechanical functions may be lacking due to age or deferred maintenance.
		The 18th century Tannenburg organ we restored a few years ago in Spring City is a noteworthy example due to its age and quality construction.
		The fact is in some cases, a specific instrument may be needlessly condemned because it does not have an AGO pedalboard, or transposer, or a reliable combination action, or even a single Mixture.

	Yet Another Organ Pedalboard Project
		I bought a used AGO pedalboard from Gerald ("Jerry") Cluff for $150.
		The pedalboard switch closures are turned into a MIDI signal by a Pedal Board Encoder 'MKOPB1-34' made by Vern Jones, which I also bought through Jerry Cluff.
		The organ sounds kind of dry if you're using it in cramped quarters (which is what my music studio is), so I got a Lexicon MPX 500 reverb unit to add a little space to it.

		We are negotiating with several suppliers to try to get the cost of the pedalboard down to a level which will be affordable to the average classical organ enthusiast.
		The Klann compact pedalboard may become available early next year, but the cost will NOT be lower than our full AGO version.
		The switches can then be set to transmit either note on/off messages, which should allow you to use it encode switches on a pedalboard or to attach stop switches with Hauptwerk, or program changes, which should allow you to wire buttons to control Hauptwerk's pistons.

		The purpose of the project was to rig an economical, church style, practice organ with high-quality, sampled pipe organ sounds.
		A reverb unit is not needed when using my PC and Hauptwerk for sound generation, because note off samples are used that supply the decay sound of the room where the organ samples were recorded.
		The pedalboard is upside down, and the board you see at the top of the photo is at the wide side of the pedalboard.

	The Computer Pipe Organ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The computer pipe organ consists of two 61-note keyboards, a keyboard stand, a piece of plywood, keyboard accessories, midi cables, a music stand, a 32-note ago pedalboard with midi, an organ bench, a midi merger, my home personal computer, my organ software, custom soundfonts, assorted audio cables, and two headphones.
		Because my organ technician friend had an extra pedalboard that he gave me, we were able to fix it up and midi-ize it for about half the cost of buying a new one.
		The pedalboard midi circuit card already boasted one merge input, so I was able to get by with a two-input merger from Midi Solutions, although a four-input model is available.

	My home practice setup
		So, I can use the patchbay's processors to take the signal from the pedalboard, bounce the MIDI channel, combine it with the standard pedalboard signal (merge), and then merge the pedalboard and the Fatar again with the external merger and send that to the Alesis for bigger, better bass on the pedals.
		The pedalboard was a bit more work because it had to be a custom job (or I'd have had to pay someone big bucks to make one for me).
		I attached a magnet to the underside of the end of each pedal using 5 minute epoxy, and I also epoxied a switch to the frame of the pedalboard such that when the pedal is depressed, the magnet approaches the swith from one 3/4" end.
