Well, this isn't all that on-topic, but it's more on-topic than many of the
other posts :)

I'm looking for a MIDI drum controller. I need something that I can play
with sticks, won't kill my wrists, and doesn't cost a fortune. I also want
something small that I can mount on a mic stand. It doesn't have to have
sounds or MIDI inputs. I just want MIDI outputs with velocity. Any
suggestions?? I'm thinking of the Roland SPD-6. Any ideas??

OK :) I'll make this more on-topic. Has anyone made a PCB that converts
the KADI outputs of a Kenton into triggers that work with MOTM-800's??
Kenton says the KADI outputs are "open collectors" and that one pin is 5VDC
for a "pull up", so I'm thinking they the outputs of most non-op-amp
comparators. Has anyone put a bunch of S-trigger to gate converters or
inverting circuits on a PCB??

Eventually, my MOTM system will have five to seven VCA's (depending how you
want to count them :) so by using a MIDI drum controller with the Kenton
and a trigger converter, I could have a MOTM drum kit :)

While I realize that I could do that without MIDI, I would also like to use
it with samples and such, and be able to edit my playing with MIDI
sequencing software.
