[sdiy] Amplifying Pulse (Slightly OT)

[Busby Bergson]

Piping those fingerclip monitors through Max was my first instinct there,
also... but I am wondering about an "analog" solution to this problem.

Deriving an electrical/rectangular click/pulse *is* the goal - but I'm not
sure what types of transducers would make for a good solution to this. Is
there something with a very sensitive electrode and a really
perfectly-tuned comparator?
