It's all for sure some very precious & hard work thanks for doing it
Michael...
you know what ?
my dream about the pads would be tohave the inside triggering of ddrum3/4
mesheads that can send zone informations to the ddrum brain from a piezo
sensor ...(but I don't know how it does it ...)
& have this hexagonal shape ...
Or I'd like to (it's a fantasy more than a wish ) to find the same ZI pad &
being able to enhance the bounce on it ; they are so beautiful ...
I have some few new FSR films, but how are you building that ?
If you need any informations I still can transfer questions to Dave if ever
he has time & agrees to answer ...
I also have some schematics, you can contact me if you need something
precise.
I will be for sure intersted by some of your interfaces, maybe it will end
to be one ...
The next stage will be the sound in itself ...
But one thing at one time ...
Thanks again for working on it !
& Good luck,
Patrice.
