Piezo microphone to max - getting the cheapest multichannel audiocard
Jul 22 2011 | 3:02 pm
I am itrigued with the Piezo microphone Stretta uses here:
I am wondering if one would like to use several of those - to build a digital drumset of sorts - what would be a cheap way to connect them to max
I know I could buy an expensive audiocard with, lets say 8 audio inputs
But am interested if someone has any idea of doing it cheaper?
Best regards

(there's an Akai trigger interface too, forget the model number) You can use ultra cheap piezo transducers & mount them how you like. Of course this will give you midi only outputs, not quite what Stretta is doing in those vids, as you will have no audio from the piezos to mix back in. Cheaper however than an 8x audio interface & 8 Planet Waves clips.hth
