Re: piezo mics and midi dancers
Steve, if you're a DIY, kit-building kind of guy, you might want to check
out the PAIA MIDI Brain kit:
http://www.paia.com/midibrn.htm#thumdrum
The MIDI Brain is available in two configurations. 1) The MIDI Fader
converts 8 channels of 0-5 V (like that supplied by a potentiameter
circuit)
to MIDI CC messages. 2) The MIDI Drum Brain converts trigger pulses from 8
channels into MIDI note-on/-off messages. The pulses can be produced by
piezo pickups.
Hope this helps.
