a DIY midi drum pad

The SynPad is a position sensitive midi drum pad that you can build yourself using simple materials and tools for around 50 UK pounds (depending on what materials you already have, and how many pads you want to make.) The pad can detect where you have hit it as well as how hard, so that the synth it is driving can change the sound continuously as you strike the pad in different places.

@TheGhettostylus No, I think you're looking at my oscilloscope.

[TheGhettostylus]

@gang1ion I don't really know what that is, but thanks for the reply.

[gang1ion]

@TheGhettostylus It's a tool for viewing variations in electronic signals. Pretty essential if you're working with electronics.
