Had these made for my Kronos keyboard setup. Being sent from California to New Hampshire.

They should fit nicely under this set up:

So what is this you ask?
It's a Midi Bass Pedal setup. Makes no noise on it's own. The top left hand area is where the programming is done. Each switch, knob, etc is fully programable, you can select the midi channels for every control. The expression pedal on the right has two toe switches that can be assigned to anything. The orange pedal near the middle is a sustain pedal. Originally we were going to use a standard sustain pedal but they were all too long so he made one out of wood for me. The two pads in the middle are pots that you can dial with your foot.

... well, yeah, I may ask.

First, what was the cost?

Who made it (and do they have license to market "Taurus" pedals? Sign on back is not Moog).

What do the other buttons do? Programable how? Is there software, or are you talking programable within some outboard system (i.e., Kronos, use CC# 55 as....)?

Why not use a clamshell momentary switch, or even a stomp box stud if space was a consideration?

Is there a waggle function on the volume pedal (why the ears)?

Do the pots have a detent for center / infinite travel / 0-10?

What's it weigh (plywood cab!) ?

This is the site I'm getting the pedals from. If you hover over the second D you will see a section titled Manuals, click that and hit the EP-Pro button to receive the manual. I got in touch with him after seeing his ebay auctions.

First, what was the cost?
Cost was $700 for the 20 pedal design. Check out the site above for other configurations.

Who made it (and do they have license to market "Taurus" pedals? Sign on back is not Moog).
The guys name is Keith, it's not made by Moog and I don't have a clue on licensing Taurus pedals.

What do the other buttons do? Programable how? Is there software, or are you talking programable within some outboard system (i.e., Kronos, use CC# 55 as....)?
The top left hand area is where the programming is done. See the manual.

Did not think of any other type of switch.

Is there a waggle function on the volume pedal (why the ears)?
The ears are swtiches, wonderful for switching Leslie speeds,etc.

Do the pots have a detent for center / infinite travel / 0-10?
Don't have it yet, so I can't answer that.

What's it weigh (plywood cab!) ?
Don't have it yet, so I can't answer that.
When I do have it, I will post a review and some videos.

This is a one-man operation out of California, he likes to do custom pedals and there are lots of options depending on your needs. He is also a working musician, so it may take some time before he can get to work on a new set of pedals.
