DIY MIDI converter for drum signals?
Hello,
I am trying to build a Electric drum set, I have an acoustic kit right now, And piezo buzzers.
I would like to know how to convert the voltage coming out of the piezos to a MIDI signal,
To run into a synth with drum sets on board.
Is there any DIY way or cheap little box to convert it to any selected channel?
So, if you have any experience or knowledge on this subject? If so please answer!!
Thank you!!!

See what I need is something to convert the signal FROM the piezo to a MIDI signal to be run into a keyboard MIDI IN.
That needs 2 things...Something to drop the piezo pulses to reasonable logic levels -- zener diodes...and a microcontroller to listen to those and spit out midi serial.

Help? I currently have no microcontroller experience, I am an analog tinkerer, But how would this be accomplished?
