16-Way MIDI DRUMS
Have
you got rhythm? Do you want to transfer that
rhythm to your computer or hardware sequencer?
Probably the easiest way of achieving this is to
use MIDI drum pads that can be hit with
drumsticks, and the data can be stored in real
time with any errors corrected afterwards.
I have designed a 16-way MIDI drum
pad system with the velocity byte fixed at maximum for 10 input drum switches
and a 6-way
velocity sensitive circuit, providing a full (0-127) velocity range using piezo sensors.
It provides MIDI
data which has to be sent to a drum/synthesiser
or sound module. The velocity byte is dependent on how hard the
piezo transducer is hit. The drum choices, and the MIDI
transmit channel are selectable in the program. However, normally the drum
sounds are assigned to MIDI channel 10.

The 16-Way drum inputs to MIDI Output unit utilizes:
- A Miduino kit including a
suitable pre-programmed Atmega168,
- A 2.1mm power socket, and associated LED,
- 6 inputs are velocity sensitive, providing a full (0-127) velocity
range,
- A MIDI 5-pin DIN output socket,
- Each input (1-16) is selectable on programming to a particular MIDI
drum selection ,
- The circuit consists of the drum microcontroller
and the MIDI drum interface.
