I plan on using the Arduino for this type of controller. http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/ArduinoMini There is a nice PD interface built for it, that you could program a MIDI out add on if you want to use the signals in something other than Pure Data. Here is a project that used the Arduino to make a MIDI Drum Kit and Spooky Sound Trigger: http://todbot.com/blog/2006/10/29/spooky-arduino-projects-4-and-musical-arduino IMHO the AVR controllers are more versatile than the PIC controllers and the Arduino is designed as a simple i/o board suitable for DIY projects. -- Jeff (another aerospace engineer) Daniel Garmendia wrote: > > Hey guys, > > I'm interested in buying or building a 4X4 trigger pad.
