I know a way to implement this. I've read it somewhere in
Internet. piezo output is limited using zener diode (you want to do this
anyway because next electronic components may get burned out). Then you
can measure width of the impuse. Wider the impulse is, more "attack" you
have. In midi terms drum attack becomes midi note on velocity parameter.
