MegaDrum MIDI Drum Trigger

Lately I have been busy working on a development of Positionals Sensing (PS)  for MegaDrum and I'm pleased to tell that I've added an experimental support for PS in the latest firmware version. There are a few requirements and limitations:

Just what the titles says - some videos showing MegaDrum in action.

 Thanks go to hchriste for these couple of videos

It may appear I haven't been very active lately with news. It is for a reason. I want to make sure that MegaDrum is future proof and this is why I ported MegaDrum firmware to pic24 and pic32 MCUs awhile back, see http://www.megadrum.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=447&start=0&hilit=pic32 for details. Last month I was getting to know ARM MCUs and as a result I've now ported MegaDrum firmware to an ARM core and specifically to STM32F103VBT6. Here is the picture of a working ARM prototype:

Thanks to Roman here is a new video of MegaDrum in action with a complete e-drum kit made by ... well by Roman of course.

Look at the back of the module and the channel number on the LCD.

If you want one, don't miss an opportunity to get it. See the forum for details.

I've finished the first ever 48 inputs version of MegaDrum in a rack mount case. I'm offering it for sale for £180 plus delivery. See details in the forum.

Up untill now the MegaDrum website has been hosted on my friend's server. It has now outgrown the server's capacity and I moved it to a new hosting provided by Bluehost. I hope it'll have happy live here although yesterday it did experience a 40 minutes outage. Let's think it was just a troubled start and it'll be much better in the future:)

New firmware released with support for 40/48 inputs and a few improvements.

I've updated the schematic of the Digital board for future use with 40/48/56 inputs.

I've added the 'Where to buy ' section to the website with the information on where you can buy inexpensive MegaDrum kits with professionally made PCBs and parts.
