MS8410 MIDI Board

MS8410 MIDI Board

The MS8410 is a feature-rich device that converts divisional keying, expression, console registration and temperature into MIDI messages for use with a digital sound module. Using the organ console, the organ builder can configure the MS8410 to operate with many different types of sound modules. The configuration information can be backed up to a USB drive for quick restoration if the MS8410 ever needs to be replaced.
