The MicroDRUM is the most economical and simple-to-build MIDI drum trigger. It’s based on an Arduino and can be used with a huge variety of e-pads / e-cymbals; up to 48 inputs!
I’m working on the first edrum module completely controlled by an iPad! See it here.
Soon I will add more things to the guide.
Steps
Step #1:
Next
- The microDRUM is a Trigger-to-MIDI controller. In practice, as shown in the drawing, it transforms the impulses generated by the pad (or cymbal) into a MIDI note.
- The idea behind the microDRUM is to create opportunities for anyone to build a drum machine in an economical way. To do this the heart of microDRUM is an Arduino. The microDRUM features:
- 48 trigger inputs
- MIDI out port
- USB port (which allows the user to manage the controller and update the firmware)
- Customizable settings to eliminate multiple-trigger, cross-talk, etc.
- Supports most types of switch or variable HiHat controllers with CC position or dedicated notes on all zones for 6 levels of intermediate levels of the pedal positions
- Save settings
