Midronome Community

Hi all

Been using our midronomes since receiving them and they are proving very useful - great job Simon, looking forward to seeing what else you come up with in the future!

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for drum pads/footswitches for tap tempo? I guess any/most will work, but if anyone has any experience with one piece of kit over another it would be good to know

Cheers

Happy to hear you like the device Ash

Footswitches can pretty much be anything, and the Midronome will accept both latching and non-latching, as well as automatically detect the polarity.

Drum pads can be a bit more tricky because some are more sensitive than others, but hopefully the 3 sensitivity levels of the Midronome help.
It has been tested with a Roland PD-8, as well as an beaten up tom pad from an old Yamaha set, and a Millenium (Thomann's brand) MPS-300 cymbal pad.

But it should work with pretty much anything, also drum triggers. And if you feel like going the DIY way, you can buy a piezoelectric sensor, solder a 6.35mm TS jack cable to it, then attach the sensor to anything you want to hit

Cheers
