Hi,
For a DIY project, I'm looking for drum pads such in the Korg Pad Kontrol,AKAI MPC or Maschine.
Does anybody know where can I get those - preferably ready to wire?

Much appreciated.

Moshe

You'll need a ribbon connector. Have a look around,could be the other models are cheaper. I just took the first one i found.

Thanks very much. This looks real nice.
However, I'm missing something or I just seem to find only pad covers?
I need the actual pads / buttons also. Sorry for not being that clear.

Do you know if it's possible to find such complete parts including the buttons and pads so I can DIY a drum triggering hardware?

Thank you very much.

The first link is to the sensors. On top of that you put this:

What else do you need ?

OK, Sorry. Now I need nothing more.
Thanks so much for your time and patience. I really appreciate the help.
I'm new at this so may take some time and questions.

Thanks again.

So... here's the next logical question.
Suppose I'm getting the MPC pads and ribbon connector. Where do I get from the information on how to connect it?
What are the power leads and what is the required value?
What lead is connected to what pad and what are the values is generates when hit?

I'm considering connecting this to an arduino board so I need to have this information if I want to make this happen.

Help?

Thanks so much.
