Recommend piezo or mic for Impaktor

    I started out with an old Yamaha e-drum pad I found used at a local shop for $30. Plugged that into a basic iRig and it worked perfectly. I was actually a bit surprised as to how well that pad tracked my fingers, given that it was built to be hit with sticks.

    But in the interest of taking up less space on my portable performing rig, I bought a piezo and stuck it in an old flat tobacco tin filled with a chunk of foam, and wired it to a 1/4" jack. Once again through and i-Rig and it worked fine (and the vintage tin drew some looks).

    Now I have a similar piezo set-up stuck onto a wooden hand drum, so I can mix the sound of the drum with Impaktor or not.

    Here's the tobacco tin version:

    Buy a Craiglist rockband/gitarhero drums and cannibalise them. You can get these cheap nowadays...

    I don't know about Rockland kits but alesis ion pads are 1 if Roland pd 9 is 10.

    I build my owns with foam and so. Tried the rockbands by myself too and time to time dream about mogees or building my own trigger box. Too much things so little time (and motivation).

    I will buy a Roland SPDs or Sx some day probably.

    All those Roland multi pad things are so expensive though. Alesis has some fairly affordable units but I’ve never tried them. I’ll probably get the new samplepad soon to use with Drambo.

    Wallapop 300€ for de S and 500€ for the Sx... these are going low finally. I love the looping capabilities on these...

    Another avenue might be getting some affordable multipad with midi and trigger Drambo when it finally comes out. It is bound to be more powerful and flexible than hardware. There will be sampling, Impaktor style resonator and subtractive synthesis to mix and match. Add to it sequencer and effects and you’ve got yourself an incredible playground for your head beating needs.

    Not my cup of tea as you know... I prefer dedicated hardware as time goes. Zero interest on AUs and software step sequencers. Simplifying my needs makes me go in other directions in rhythmical terms. In fact more interested on iBassist and the drummers than programing my own... drumpads are for my gigs (the day they come again) and for playing instead letting bots done all my stuff :lol:
    Impaktor is so underrated... where’s the promised v 2.0?

    Sorry to be the bad news bearer but seems like impaktor 2 = Drambo.

    :lol:
    Mogees should be my impaktor 2 then.
    :wink:

    I kind of understand what you're saying but if you want impaktor 2 and someone gives you what essentially is impaktor 2, with more of everything: AUV3 etc it just sounds silly.

    I will look a bit further into it but for me isn’t more is better in fact is the opposite less is more.
    For me an impaktor 2 app should be more like mogees than tr sequencer.
    I want to play drums not programing them, for that I prefer lumbeats approach or hardware.
    I use iDevices as one app receptor (even I have old iPh4 with impaktor but charging/docks from that era makes it PITA) so making my numbers I prefer invest 300€ on Spds and forget about apps. Mogees is what if... but probably I will not buy another iDevice soon.

    I need to draw my needs (once again) but I’m very sure about avoid Apple hardware as multipurpose device. Even as receptors... few killer apps that I have covered.

    Sometimes I even consider solutions like the Korg cliphit.

    I don’t worry about sound silly. I thought like you in the past but I learnt the difference between simple and silly. In fact I’m so simply silly or sillying simple when I design my setup.

    OT end :wink:

    Ah cool, now I get it. Yes, in that case you should defo go for one of the Roland hardware. Tweaking sounds is an important part to me but I totally get this thing about stuff being for musicians rather than scientists. As for Drambo I'm not planning to spend weeks trying to program sounds, more like tweak presets etc.

    Nice chat as usual which I hope result useful to others too.

    More questions (and excuse my ignorance)

    If I have a piezo and a jack to USB cable, can I connect it (1)-directly to the iPad (via CCK) or (2)-to my M-Audio USB audio interface or do I still need some kind of pre-amp?
