[sdiy] Percussion synth

[Tim Parkhurst]

Hi Doug,

Looks pretty good, but I have a couple of thoughts...

1) Where are you going to get the 76477s?

2) I see you have one transducer driving all the tones. It would be nice
(aid in playability and dynamics) if you could vary the level of the
different tones (snare, impact, shell, etc.) by how you play. Perhaps vary
the levels by the overall strike strength, or even have two or three
transducers in different areas of the drum (great playability but more
hardware involved).
