Hey yall, I saw an Alesis e-drum pad and cymbal at the thrift for cheap, so I grabbed em. Is interfacing these to the Teensy 4.1 I've got here as simple as hooking these up to ADC pins and monitoring them for voltage? Has anyone done this?
I see bits and bobs from E-drums all the time and I have plenty of ways to trigger drum samples via midi, and I have already done a few midi controller devices with Teensy so I'm all good on that end, just uncertain if this is just a straight up piezo that I could treat like any knock sensor type deal, or what. I think the cymbal is dual zone, for bell/rim, so there's that too.
I am also tossing around the idea of building a digital marimba, but not sure about monitoring pieces of wood.
