By adding a jumper between the two pins pictured above, we can ground the middle pin of the MIDI port which would otherwise be missing for a MIDI output port. We can then plug the last four pins of the cable ribbon directly into our proto board.
If you're using the Guitar Hero World Tour controller, the default code will work out of the box. Otherwise, you'll need to make adjustments to the definitions at the top of the code as you see fit to your drum set.
If you'd like a detailed explanation of how the program works, then check the the video from step 1! I also added some hot glue to the solder joints to prevent it from breaking off in the future from all the drum hits. Then make sure the wires are secured by taping them down with scotch tape, and close up the unit!

How can i see it again? One this is that it was not clear that you need to wire each of the pin headers into each of the analog inputs of the Arduino, you should modify the shield diagram in step 5 to show this as it took me some time to realise and I would have laid out my board differently had I known before hand.
I attach a couple of photos of my proto-board. Couple of problems I am having. Output range from hitting pads is as high as or so and so even just a little hit maxes out the volume, I added a line of code to divide the output by 10 to bring it within the midi range and get much better volume control. For some reason when I hit one of the pads seems to be dependent on which are plugged in then one of the pads triggers two notes the others are fine, just one pad that this happens on but not always the same one so it is not a pad issue , I checked my wiring and it all seemed to be okay, no shorting between lines, any ideas?
I get a huge variation in volume between the side and center of the pad, is this normal GHWT kit , wondering if I can compensate in software some how? Reply 1 year ago. How did you connect the pedal? Photo on step 6 just says "Pedal Piezo" but the other piezos have 2 wires, not just one. Reply 4 years ago. I desoldered everything and rebuilt it using the proto-boards built in gnd and 5v rails area on the bottom right of the first picture which matched really nicely with this project and meant the midi interface cable is now long enough, I inserted the Ohm resistor inline in the midi interface cable for simplicity.
I am not getting the extra signals I was getting so I am guessing my first attempt was some bad grounding or something. I added some code to divide the source signal by 5 as it was never seeing the soft hits. All good now. I'm following exactly the same steps. On step 6 It says "Pedal Piezo" but, the others piezos have two wires, not just one. What I'm doing wrong?

Answer 3 years ago. Totally, I bought those, but I suggest you to find other channels that have build this pads in ways that give a better feeling and a better response to the touch.

Note that I cannot offer extensive support for this program, but I am interested to hear if you have used the program and like it, especially if your system configuration differs from mine. I would also like to hear about any bugs if you find them, or any feature suggestions you might have. Freeware utility for triggering MIDI drums This is a little program I wrote because I wanted to use my Rock Band 2 drums as a handy MIDI controller for my digital audio workstation, and there didn't seem to be any freely available software to make this easy to do.
Pick the MIDI note triggered by each pad, cymbal and pedal. Control the length and velocity of triggered notes. Velocity sensitivity 4 levels for pads and cymbals. Minimizes to system tray to avoid desktop clutter. Advanced features added in version 0. Use hi-hat pedal to switch between different midi notes on the cymbals.
Trigger midi note on pedal up as well as pedal down if you want to. More control over velocity curve.
Randomization of velocity can also be turned on. Contact Details Note that I cannot offer extensive support for this program, but I am interested to hear if you have used the program and like it, especially if your system configuration differs from mine. E-mail: rb2midi at mattgrounds dot com.
