What kind of connection does your drum trigger output? Is it quarter inch, like on an eKit? Cos I'm thinking you could always buy a really cheap drum "brain" (from one of the lower end TD kits for example) and then just bypass the sounds from it and use it simply as a MIDI router for as many triggers as you want. Seems a bit of a waste I know, but that's the only way I can think of at the moment....

Another factor in this, is if your PC is up to the task of triggering samples in real time with no delay. You need a fairly good, dedicated music soundcard to be able to trigger samples live, without a huge delay between hitting, and hearing :)

Will think on this some more.....]]> Live Sound strunglikeahorse https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/d-i-y-drums-to-pc-without-module/#post-89757 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/d-i-y-drums-to-pc-without-module/#post-74445 Mon, 01 Nov 2004 20:24:49 +0000
However, I think there should be a trigger-to-MIDI converter box somewhere... I'll have to look.

My question is that as I have fruity loops (drum machine proggie), can I like use it as sounds for the snare. For example, if I hit the snare pad, the sound would come out from my PC just like it would through the module.

My dad just got a few drum triggers for 'em. Any ideas? Do I need any new equipment? My dad don't wanna waste 700 bucks on a module here in Singapore.]]> Live Sound carousel https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/d-i-y-drums-to-pc-without-module/#post-4644
