I suppose you've already come across the transcribed piano rolls?
I grabbed a bunch of them off the web a while ago -- unfortunately
I don't have any links. They're pretty exact MIDI replicas of the
original artist recordings and kind of fun to play.

More that no-one seems to have said anything "interesting" about MIDI for a while, and so there's not much to respond to.
FWIW, I'm primarily using Cakewalk for music sequencing, and while CW can produce MIDI, it works better with its own formats. My interest in "real" MIDI would be much enhanced if only I could get Rosegarden to work.
It remains stubbornly silent. I managed to follow some instructions found on-line and it worked once; but never again. Likewise, I got Cakewalk to run exactly once under Wine, and never again. Audacity works fine, but is not much use for sequencing and editing .... Linux and MIDI don't really seem to mix.
Well, if anyone cares, I am still in the process of turning my
big console organ into a MIDI device.
Anybody else ever try this kind of a project?

busy these days. My main interest is in live MIDI and using it like

I've been working on a similar project. I was given an old pipe
organ console that I'm converting to MIDI for use with GrandOrgue.
Since I'm a bit poor in cash, but good with programming and soldering,
I've been designing and building my own interface boards around PIC microcontrollers. Four boards just scan the manuals, pedals, and various controllers (stops and pistons) and send 1 byte key on/off messages
to a master which converts that data, along with 2 expression pedals,
into a single MIDI stream. Still a few bugs to track down, but the one manual and pedals I've completed play very nicely.
If you (or anyone else) are interested, I can share more about it.
I have created a blog for the project that I desperately need to post
more on. It's at http://organ.turnquist.name.
It's a big project, but fun. Hope yours goes well. What make of organ
are you using for your project?
