Hi,
I know there are alot of talented electronic enthusiasts on here, so lets see your problem solving skills on this one
Basically Ive been in the market for an electronic drum kit.. however I am tight on money due to school savings..
Ive been looking for a Td-5 or Td-7 drum brain by Roland..
The module that the triggers are hooked to is what I would like to make
As you can see by the video these devices take vibration from these triggers and output the sound of drums. One drum sound per trigger..
The price these are going for is outrageous.. $500+!
I would like to make my own.. if it is reasonably possible and CHEAPER then giving into eBay.
So basically I will have 5 triggers all connect to the homemade Module with 1/4'' plugs.
I need to come up with a way to take the signal from the triggers and make them play 5 sounds .. one per trigger:
1 snare
3 toms
and one bass sound
The sounds NEED to be able to play over each other!
Also, the volume of the drum sounds will need to be proportional to the velocity of each hit on the triggers. (thats going to be hard im sure)
I know this is probably going to be a hard project but I am determined to materialize it.. $500.. pff not on my watch.
My starting project specific materials are:
-5 triggers
-5 1/4'' input jacks
-1 1/4'' output jack
- power supply = check
- any misc. components = check
- special IC's (I know I will need at least 1) can be purchased
Also, I know these modules have like 512 differents sounds .. chorus.. reveb and all that..
Im just looking for 5 sounds making up a normal acoustic drum kit, nothing special.
