I've had this product for 1,5 year now and I'm very happy with it. I bought this product since I was looking for a 2 octave pedal for a cheap price and all the finished 2 octave pedals are way to expensive.
Electronics wise it's very simple to build, the casing however does take quite some time if you wanna do it right. But I think this time is definitely worth it, considering the very cheap price.
I've only used these pedals at home so far and they work excellent. Never had any trouble with it. All the functions you need are present, like transpose and midi channels.
I think these pedals should also be good for live use if you make sure that you build the case in such a way that it can protect the pedals for transport. But that should be perfectly possible. I haven't yet tested this out myself though.

Overall I think this is an excellent purchase for any one who wants a two octave pedal for a cheap price.

Firstly, the DoepferMBP25 works well, and does exactly what it suggests - it converts keystrokes to midi. However, unlike other Doepfer units, it's midi sockets are on fly cables and not on the board, so be prepared to desolder these so that they can be mounted on the box and re-attach.

The Fatar Keybed is a workable unit, and easy to cut to length. But that also means it's pretty flexible. You need to anchor it very well to a very stiff base. It will need extra anchor points, I used the gaps in the missing black notes to add screw down points.

To remove the extra C, you need to cut through the tracks on the circuit board. That means you have to put fly cables in to replace the missing part of the circuit board. Best way is to scratch some of the green resin off the remaining track and 'tin' the copper, solder the wire from this to the underside of the corresponding component.

Lastly, you must be prepared to remake all the key contact joints on the circuit board. Don't chase individual faults, just resolder the lot. The soldering on both my sets were poor, but resoldering was a complete cure, there were no mechanical issues.Don't let this put you off!

So it's cheap and effective, and not difficult to build - but needs a bit of work.

Good deal, all considered

Been using it for 4months now. Meh...the thing irritating me is some pedals not making contact properly and therefore failing to produce a sound sometimes. Maybe it needs just a little tuning but I am afraid to touch the electronics because i usually make things worse. Pedals are also a bit shaky and made entirely of plastic, which it doesn't make me feel any better regarding its durability. I had a bit of a hard time with soldering the 2 pieces, I suggest to drill a small hole in the plaque to fix the stain or it won't stick! I found it to be compatible with my organs(viscount legend live , Roland vr09) and with a midi/USB adapter you may use it with a PC in your daw. If you build a case for it you may want to put the exp and sus pedals directly on top of it, making it more comfortable than other pricy pedalboards out there which don't allow it. At least it comes at a reasonable price. Happy practice and B happy!

Ich wollte gerne die Möglichkeit haben, zur Gitarre Bassnoten zu spielen.
Controller wie Softstep etc. haben mich nicht wirklich überzeugt, die meisten fertigen Basspedale haben nur eine Oktave oder sind - trotz teils archaischem Alter der Modelle - übertrieben teuer dafür was sie tun.
Also habe ich diesen Bausatz bestellt.

Das Material der Pedale ist sehr einfaches Tiefzieh-Plastik und vor allem die langen braunen Pedale wirken ziemlich hässlich. Man kann das ganze aber gut zerlegen und ich habe mich schließlich entschlossen, sie weiß zu lackieren.
Ursprünglich hatte ich überlegt, sie durch massives Holz zu ersetzen - die recht einfache Konstruktion der Mechanik hätte das erlaubt - aber es war mir dann doch zu aufwendig.
Die schwarzen Pedale gehen optisch in Ordnung für mich.

Was wirklich blöde gelöst ist, ist die hintere Platine. Sie steht unnötig hoch über das Pedal hinaus und erfordert dadurch ein recht hohes Gehäuse. Sie ist darüberhinaus sehr labil und ich hatte beim Einbau immer Sorge, sie würde brechen. Es ging alles gut, aber das ist definitiv der schwächste Punkt - es wirkt, als ob das Pedal für ein bestimmtes Gehäuse entwickelt worden wäre, wo dies kein Problem ist, man könnte das ganze genausogut deutlich kompakter gestalten.

Was man sich überlegen sollte ist, dass die beiden Pedale nebeneinander sehr breit sind. Auch war mir mit der Anleitung zum absägen und entfernen eines Pedals in der Mitte nicht so wohl.
Ich hatte dann die Idee, die beiden Pedale übereinander anzubringen, in einem abgetreppten Gehäuse, die obere Lage ca. 14cm nach hinten versetzt. Ich habe viel probiert da ich unsicher war ob sich das spielen lässt, es stellte sich aber heraus, das diese Position sehr gut funktioniert und der Platzgewinn und die kurzen Wege für den Fuß entschädigen für die sehr aufwendige Konstruktion - und ich musste nichts absägen.

Döpfer entwickelt die Elektronik nicht mehr weiter, daher war meine Anfrage, ob man das Expression Pedal auch mit etwas anderem als CC7/Volume belegen könnte leider nicht von Erfolg gekrönt.
Letztlich habe ich die Elektronik innen ins Gehäuse gepackt, da ich sie wohl nie verwenden werde.

Stattdessen habe ich mir ein Controller Script für Bitwig Studio geschrieben, dass mir erlaubt die Pedale frei zu transponieren und dem Expression-Pedal einen beliebigen Controller zuzuweisen - und falls ich sonstige Ideen damit habe werde ich diese in Software realisieren.

Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden.
