MP-113, Dynamic MIDI Pedalboard

In my teens I progressed from Lowrey through to the big guns, Hammond C3. The smaller organs had peddle boards which were very simple, light to the extent of having to screw them down. I avoided the 32-note Hammond because I wasn’t fit enough to have two feet dancing around. The the Studiologic arrived. It’s massive. Slight exaggeration but much bigger than the early 13 note boards. But all is forgiven when this is played. My microKorg makes a terrific bass guitar sound and with the Studiologic I have the full kit at my feet. Worth every penny

need to get a midi box now

Unable to pair with my hammond organ can not use this item

There have been questions about this pedal board's compatibility with the Yamaha Tyros series. Definitely no problem with the Tyros 2 with or without a Regi-Stick+ (a worthwhile purchase in its own right). While the MP-113 isn't stocked by Amazon UK, it is available for just over £300 from other retailers such as Bonners in Eastbourne where I purchased mine after seeing it demonstrated on a Tyros 2. There may be issues with the 3 or 4 but the Tyros 5 is apparently compatible. Ketron K8 pedals are a cheaper alternative that will do the same job on any Tyros. I am extremely happy to have pedals again after using them with my organs over 30 years ago! They are not as difficult to use as some might think and enhance playing on a MIDI keyboard, making it much easier to play left hand chords with alternate/alternating bass. Note that for a comfortable playing position, a seat high enough to allow the leg to 'swing' across the keys is needed. The Quik Lok BX/8 Quality Keyboard Bench is ideal for this with settings up to 55cm.

Muy buena calidad, buen tacto y control, y silencioso. Lastima que no sea de dos octavas.

Ottima pedaliera, la uso con il Moog Minitaur e devo dire che sembra di suonare una vera Taurus

Los pedales funcionan como lo esperaba, pero llegó mal empacado lo que no me da mucha confianza, mandaron un modelo diferente del que tenían anunciado aunque con las mismas prestaciones y al revisar el manual observé que el eliminador es de 9 volts y 2.5 amperes y mandaron uno de 9 v y 1 amper por lo cual me da la impresión de que no son muy responsables en esa tienda, o están vendiendo equipo reconstruido.

Solidly built. Easy to configure on the fly (eg change MIDI channels). Used old-school MIDI connector so it’s compatible with older equipment. I’m using a MIDI router to send keyboard and pedalboard MIDI signals where they need to go

I own a couple of these and they are simple to operate and hook up and they are very well made. I bought my latest set to replace my Elka DMP 18 pedals. They were extremely well made and I used them for more than 20 years, but like all good things, they were discontinued. These MP-117 pedals are a very nice replacement. When I got rid of using an organ on gigs I still needed pedals - sorry bass players. I midi these into a Novation bass station keyboard or a Novation A station rack module. As with any pedals you need a bit of sustain to fill in between notes as your foot moves to the next note - this sustain/decay can easily be set on these analog synths. I rarely use the buttons on the unit, although they work well. The 17 note pedals, I understand, are no longer being made, but are available through various outlets, Amazon in particular. I've been playing keyboards professionally since 1970 and have had many different set ups, always with pedals. If you need pedals, these are pretty solid and a reasonable price AND weight. The extra 4 notes make a nice difference for me.
