I'm sure rich nerds would throw their wallets, credit cards, and a blank check at this guy.

Fu**ing great, I need this one. I love how he does the perc with the pedals, just insane.

saw this on engadget earlier, and it got me thinking how a local thrift store has had an electronic organ that they've been unable to sell sitting in the back of the shop for a good few weeks...

Offer then $5 and a chicken and I'm sure they let you take it. There's not a lot of demand for organs these days.

[Fishy]

Want, want now. Give plz.

This is cool, BUT... it's not really all that new. Basically, he just turned an organ (which was already electronic) into a controller and hooked that up to a synthesizer.

Steffan Andrews (the OCReMixer) did this years ago:

While he didn't hook it up to a synth (that's not that hard), he completely repurposed an ANALOG (non-electronic) footboard into a MIDI controller. Very cool stuff.

Someone on youtube commented about the boatload of cash that guy could make mass-producing them. I was gonna say "not much at all"; far too much of a niche product, no matter how many think otherwise, and he could make a lot more just performing on it. Not new, and it may not beat anything Shnab might have set up for himself (I'm expecting), but he's got an excellent set of features for a DIY project.

Think he could make money off mass-producing these?
