ok, here’s my idea. i dont have much money. that’s not going to change. i’m making triggers from remo practice pads. rather than dump a bunch of money on a drum module that only has a set sound bank, i want to go into a laptop and use whichever samples i want. this set will be strictly for practicing.
what i want to do instead is get a used m-audio oxygen keyboard, open it, and wire the triggers directly to the switches on the keys on the keyboard. basically the set will simulate keystrokes on the keyboard. i would use a midi program of my choice on the laptop to playback different assigned sounds.
my question is, does anyone know anything about the inner workings of one of those keyboards and their switches? i’m wondering if i wire to the keyboard’s switches, will lose velocity sensitivity on my pads?
