Why are add-on pedal boards SO expensive? They usually have no tone generation, they usually aren't velocity or pressure sensitive (good job, too!), and they usually are too damn small (I want at least 17 notes for a decent line, if not the full two octave B3 monster!).
Yet they cost as much as the keyboard you are adding them to, half the time. First guy to come out with a cheap, simple C-F pedalboard makes a fortune, IMO... Make it dumb (nothing but on/off and select MIDI channel) and let the arranger/organ handle the rest. No volume pedal (we got those already!), no registration select, no leslie kick buttons. Simple, durable and cheap...
C'mon, all you manufacturers...
