Hello Everyone,

I am very new to MegaDrum hence, pardon me for any silly questions . I was wondering if it is possible to use some very basic vibration/touch sensors like a piezo element or some capacitive touch sensor (without any kind of breakout boards) for the analogue input to the MegaDrum and get a MIDI signal out from it with minimal latency?

So basically instead of using any professional Drum pads,etc. I would like to trigger the MIDI signal through just some basic sensors that give out an analogue signal. Also another question I have is what is the difference between MegaDrum and Edrum (http://www.edrum.info) for which I found a link on the MegaDrum website ? Do these two have to work together to get the result or something?

I really appreciate everyone's time and effort towards this.

Thanks,
Neel

The piezo has been used in the vast majority of electronic drums for the past 30 years so I think it safe to say you can use them.
You don't need the edrum (Is it still alive) it's an either /or with Megadrum. I'm biased, but MD is very good. Good luck.

Thanks for the response airflamesred!

I am trying to decide between MegaDrum vs Bela with Audio Capelet for my very low latency analog input sensing, conditioning and MIDI out use-case. If you have any input that may help me decide, that would be much appreciated!

Regards,
Neel

What is the end product?
