Need help with drum pad input into standard midibox64

[flamtronic]

Hello:

Will drum pad input into the pot design cause problems with the pad input being a spike, and the usual input from the intended pots being a continual voltage?

For background, I am interested in building a midi box to accept info from drum pads.  I own a Simmons SDX, which is too fragile to perform out with.  The pads output a voltage for velocity and also postion of strike.  I have (hopefully accurate) schematics for the input circuitry ending in a 4051, which should be the start of the input for the midibox.  I would like to split the input to one regular note on/velocity midi signal, and one cc representing the position.  This would then leave the box to some sampling software.

As I know nothing of C programming or assembler, I was hoping to use the available MIOS for the box.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi,

crosstalk between analog inputs shouldn't be a problem so long each individual cable connected to an analog input (CORE:J5) is shielded to ground.
