Title link takes you there."Through some 'net research, I quickly discovered that piezo elements could be hacked and used as triggers. Others have managed to use PIC microcontrollers or similar hardware to read triggers and send MIDI output signals to other devices. Naturally, this approach seemed to point at what I was wanting...but it would need some customization.
While MIDI is great and flexible, I really wanted something that would allow me to play arbitrary electronic drum sets/kits. Because I don't own a single MIDI device, I decided that a PC would be the perfect sound generator. I had already done a few projects that use the serial port on a PIC, so this seemed like the way to go."
