hello midiboxers.
i’m really new at this, and could use some pointers.
to get into all this diy matter, i thought i’d start off the easy way. i have this old evolution mk-125 midi keyboard (really simple: 2 octaves, transposable up and down, pb and mod wheel, some buttons for channel, preset,…) which i opened up.
what i basically want to do, is turn this keyboard in some sort of drum trigger device, trigger finger style.

8 or 12 drum pads, a couple of simple on/off buttons, and, if possible some rotary encoders.
on the inside, you can see the keys operate two ‘pad surfaces’ each (for lack of better name), so i suppose it is the ‘time based velocity sensing’, like the faster you hit, the higher the velocity. i’m a total newbie, so correct me if i’m wrong.
from my first investigation here, you could use piezo’s for this?
is this possible at all?
anyway, every suggestion/links are welcome.
thanks, andy
