Sasha Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 What electromagnets or other atenuators should I use for MIDI controlled beaters. Somebody have experience using MIDIO128 for controlling some percussions?
stryd_one Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Search here and ucapps for edrum :) It's WAY easier than you think ;)

Sasha Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Posted March 30, 2006 Edrums are not mechanical drums at all. As I say, I want to drive mechanical drums over the midio128, not to trigger midi over the pads. By the way, I made edrums but I didnt find documentations about testing and and troubleshooting. Edrums forum dont have so good community like this forum so I dont find it very usefull. I just power it on and couldnt get any signals after beating the piezo element, so I just leave it aside for some time...
pay_c Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 I think the *new* boards from SmashTV already allow direct control of relais, so some controlling of electromagnets should be pretty easy. Check out the new boards, cause I don´t know for sure.Greetz!

No you didn't say that before, but you've made it clearer now. I would avoid hydraulics and stick with magnetics . Moebius has the right idea...Edit: Fixed from where I spaced out, see below :)
seppoman Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 Solenoids ARE magnetic :) Just follow the link from moebius - this guy even wound his electric magnets himself. But ready-made parts are probably stronger and more reliable.Seppoman
