Viscount MIDI Bass Pedal 30-note Straight Concave MIDI-pedalboard

Viscount MIDI Bass Pedal 30-note Straight Concave — Professional MIDI Pedalboard

The Viscount MIDI Bass Pedal 30-note Straight Concave Light Oak Laminated is a 30-key MIDI pedalboard engineered for organists who need the tactile response of a traditional pedalboard paired with full digital flexibility. Its straight concave key arrangement places all 30 pedals in a single curved row, giving the feet a natural arc that mirrors the layout of a classical pipe organ console. Finished in laminated light oak and manufactured in Italy, this pedalboard integrates seamlessly with Viscount Cantorum keyboards and any MIDI-compatible organ sound module.

What Sets This Pedalboard Apart

What distinguishes this model in the MIDI pedalboard category is the combination of a straight concave key geometry with two independently programmable expression pedal channels. Unlike simpler pedalboards that share a single expression assignment, each expression pedal here transmits on its own MIDI channel, enabling separate volume and expression swells routed to different sound layers. The laminated light oak cabinet houses the electronics in a metal enclosure across the front face, with height-adjustable rear feet and non-slip rubber front feet for stable placement on stage or in a home studio.

MIDI Connectivity and Signal Routing

MIDI configuration determines how flexibly a pedalboard integrates with the rest of a digital organ rig. This unit exposes the full set of connections needed for both simple and complex setups, with assignable channels that adapt to any sound module or DAW environment.

• MIDI Channels: 1–16 programmable — assignable to match any receiving organ module or virtual instrument
• MIDI Inputs: 2 × MIDI IN — allows daisy-chaining or merging with another MIDI source such as a manual keyboard
• MIDI Output: 1 × MIDI OUT — single cable connection to the host organ or computer
• Control Change Messages: CC7 (volume) or CC11 (expression) — selectable on the pedals for expressive swells
• Program Change: transmitted — enables sound switching directly from the pedalboard

Dual Expression Pedal System

Two dedicated expression pedals ship with the unit, each calibratable and routable to its own MIDI channel for independent control over two sound layers simultaneously.

• Expression Pedal Inputs: 2 × Expression Pedal — both pedals included in the package, ready to mount and calibrate
• Independent MIDI Routing: each pedal on its own programmable channel — drive two sound layers from two feet without menu diving
• Status Indication: 2 × LED indicators — visual feedback for power and MIDI activity at a glance

Build Quality and Physical Dimensions

The laminated light oak cabinet with metal electronics housing gives both visual warmth and mechanical rigidity for daily use, while the substantial weight keeps the unit planted during energetic pedal passages.

• Finish: Laminated Light Oak — warm natural wood appearance that matches Viscount Cantorum keyboards and benches
• Dimensions (L × D × H): 1175 × 859 × 168 mm — compact enough for home studios, large enough for full 30-note repertoire
• Weight: 33.5 kg — substantial mass that prevents sliding during performance
• Power Supply: 230 V mains — independent of the host organ, so the pedalboard can be switched on its own
• Country of Manufacture: Italy — built by Viscount in their Mondaino (Rimini) facility
