Kickstart (closed)

Dear friends, since in many ask me to buy microDrum already welded, I developed a new pcb. I called nanoDrum and has the following characteristics: Arduino free 24 inputs MIDI IN and MIDI OUT simple direct connection with LCD, buttons and Wave Trigger I am thinking of selling it already welded (whit all components) at 50€ but to make the cards I need 150€ then, just as they do on Kickstarter, I decided ...

New Video (I kept my promise)

Ok, this video may seem like another demonstration how much poorly I play the drum but reality shows that I was able to make a fully self-contained module for eDrum. Hence it will no longer need to connect microDrum to PC to play but just turn it on ... you can also upload your own  favorites samples. All this thanks to  Jamie Robertson's  WAV Trigger  (APPLAUSE!).  Of course it was also ...

Project Freedom

Lately I've been very busy. I am not on the forum, I reply to emails late and I have not released a full version of the new Config Tool. To forgive me I want to show the first microDrum that speaks!   I'm very happy. It 's just a prototype but it works well. If all goes well in a little while you will no longer need to connect the ...

FAQFAQ

In fact they are not true FAQ, but the blog of Dave (http://arduinodrumkit.wordpress.com/) is full of interesting ideas and answers to questions that I often receive by e-mail. It is also written in proper English and not like mine  :D ... so I recommend everyone to give it a look. In effetti non sono delle vere FAQ ma il blog di Dave (http://arduinodrumkit.wordpress.com/) è pieno di ...

The Italian Job (Mainboard v0.7)The Italian Job (Mainboard v0.7)

New version of the mainboard of the microDrum. This new version supports working at 3.3V Arduino boards (like Arduino DUE) and the MIDI Thru. Of course, to achieve this I had to change a bit the card but can be used in "V5 - No Thru" mode with the same components of the v0.6. In the coming days I will publish the schema and the PDF version of the card. &...

microDrum Box Design (pdf)microDrum Box Design (pdf)

I added in Download page the pdf file with the design of the official plexiglass box. If you build it or do laser cutting, I would ask you to send me the photos of the result.Ho aggiunto nell'area Download il file pdf con il design della scatola ufficiale in plexiglass. Se la costruite o la fate tagliare con il laser vi pregherei di mandarmi le foto del risultato.

microDrum Official BoxmicroDrum Official Box

After several studies, using different materials and different techniques, I came to a conclusion. The box you see in the gallery is the official box of microDrum.

I'll make some corrections and then publish online the design. As you can see, is made of a single sheet of plexiglass 4mm cut by laser. The bend I made it at home. Obviously, the project will be made ​​available online ...

Latency test N°1Latency test N°1

Today I started to do some tests to calculate microDrum latency. I used a Behringer UCA 222 sound card as an oscilloscope , the software "Electroacoustics Toolbox" to analyze the signal and, for convenience, a MIDI Thru Box to split the output of the microDrum (this have certainly introduced a delay). I have connected an input between the piezo and the microDrum and the other input to one of the outputs of ...
