Electronic Drum Trigger?

[pglenn]

I'm looking to build a DIY Electronic Drum Set and thought that a MidiBox project would be good for the brains - something to take the triggers, set them to MIDI and then send via output to my PC for processing.  Anyone have experience or knowledge with a similar project?  I know about triggering the MidiBox midi notes via switches, buttons, or knobs, figure the same can be done via 1/4" or RCA inputs from a drum trigger?  I figure 8inputs would be sufficient but 16 would be good for any possible future expansion of the drum kit

Hi patrick and welcome!

midibox as a drum brain is doable but looks like nobody has made one already so I guess it could be a little bit difficult with no examples to follow, feel free to try though :)

Also, there are some alternatives, reading all those pages should give you a better idea, and most if not all you can find there could be implemented with midibox core, etc.:
