About MegaDrum
MegaDrum is a MIDI drum trigger module publically released as a do-it-yourself project by Dmitri Skachkov. It is used as an electronic drum module without built-in sounds. It is cheap and relatively easy to build for an average DIY-enthusiast.The ability to solder and read a simple wiring diagram is all that is required. For those not so good at soldering, a fully working module in a 1 unit 19" rackmount case is available to order from the MegaDrum site.
Why MegaDrum
The current processor, ARM STM32F205RCT6 chip is running at a clock frequency of - 120MHz, which is the fastest on the market. The speed at which both the original analogue signal and the sound are processed are crucial to an authentic playing experience. This is, overall, the time it takes from striking the drum pad/cymbal to the sound being heard. This is known as latency. The lower the latency the better.The MegaDrum has 56 input channels which can be configured to how the user requires.
To better understand what you can do with a MegaDrum read Zourman's poor man's Roland TD-20 article.
