Has anyone heard of a sequencer hooked up to a pipe organ? JIM

Yeah - I have - but the sequencer was actually a PDP-8! I'm
sure the referance can be found...somewhere.

You should be able to hook up anything with MIDI output *TO* a
sequencer -- you can retrofit most anything to send MIDI.
To get MIDI playback, however, you'd need some kind of mechanical
interface, I think.
It's fairly cheap to MIDIfy an acoustic piano for sequencer recording,
but very expensive to get it to play back (Bosendorfer makes such an
animal, but I think it costs more than one hundred thousand dollars).

Using products like Devtronix, Trousdale and others, it is possible to
get MIDI data to/from a pipe organ. It doesn't have to involve
contacts under the keys ... it can instead be electrical tie-ins to the
electronics already in the organ (assuming an electromechanical rather
than purely mechanical action and stop mechanism) ...
Z-tronics, too
