I added this software to Download Page. If anyone is interested in the code write it in the comments (or on the forum) and I’ll try to upload on GitHub.

This version of DrumScope, using the algorithm of firmware 1.1 I have not yet released, but it can still be useful to analyze the DIY pads.

I’m working to migrate the code from Google Code server to GitHub server. I will leave the project for a few days on both servers, then I will delete the one on Google.

I am working to LCD support (optional) but I want to reassure everyone that I will not change the PCB microDRUM but I am going to use the connectors at the top (unused ones close to the Arduino), as you can see from the photo. For testing I’m doing them on an old PCB prototype (the first one , look at word “N° 1″).

Talking with friends who build pad DIY, I reflected on the difficulty of determining the quality of a homemade pad. And thus the difficulty of finding the best parameters to configure the microDrum. So I decided to create a new program that could help determine the best parameters.

It is not yet complete, for now determines ScanTime,Threshold and MaskTime, but I’m working.

If someone needs a hand, or simply wants to help me to test the program,must do so. Download Visual Analyzer, connect the pad to analyze to the input of the soundcard, and record 60 seconds of shots on the pad,with different dynamics, at distance of about a second (so that the signals do not overlap).

Save the data in a text file, and send them zipped by email. Will test the program with that data and see what happens. You can do it also for pads and cymbals Roland, Yamaha, etc. …

The microDRUM app for IPhone / IPad has been updated to version 1.2 and brings an important new: the support for CoreMIDI and then for all devices compatible with Apple libraries as the iRig MIDI. I also improved the speed of the monitor, and I have fixed some bugs. I remind you that the best way to appreciate the capabilities of this app is to use SFZ  libraries better than the default. For example you can use this that I did it based on samples of Big Mono, or  you can make new one.

The eMBi’s nice job is the new born at home microDRUM!

More information in the forum!

We have reached the download number 1000 of the microDRUM Main Schema. I guess that’s quite a success and deserves a celebration. I just did the upload of Config Tool code in the Developer section . This project becomes more Open, but requires more support from you. Spread the news, a programmer could decide to make the Mac / Linux version using Mono…

As you read in the forum, Victor has completed his microDrum with excellent results. You can also see the photos in the gallery.

Thanks Victor, your work has put me in a good mood.

I added a new product in the store. It is the kit with all components to be welded on the main board of microDrum (excluding 4851, which are separate).

This is the list of components:

Is there anyone who knows how to work with SketchUp?
