Midibox Drum Triggers

[mb944]

Hi

Tom Scarff suggests an 8 way velocity sensitive drumpad controller.

I got it up and running (without  lcd and buttons) in 20 minutes using only 10k resistors wired to 8 pins of a PIc16F877 . I works fine, I just need to make some better piezo pads. Thought this info could come in handy for a midibox version.

Hi folks, this thread sounds very interessting to me, the problem for me is the low knowledge of the technical things combined with the language. :'(

Is there a german guy involved who would contact me, so we could possibly talk some things offline?

Thanx for your help, Frank

Hi, Frank!

Don't be so shy ;) I see no problem with your english if you don't see problem with mine :P So, join the discussion and feel free to ask questions - everybody was a beginner once!

Bye, Moebius

I'm interested in building cheap solution for triggering drums (meaning more drums for the amount of money) and thinking of using pacific drumxtreme usb boxes for that. I could get these boxes for 15$ from one of their spare parts support guy, so definately worth a try. They seem to use standard piezo triggering.

These boxes are velocity sensitive and use HID driver, so I assume Rejoice and new Bidule could translate the incoming data to midi.

Has anyone tried these boxes with translating to midi?
