Any information on how to set this up? Cheers eric keep up the good work. “I’ve heard that some people are successfully triggering this circuit with the Highly Liquid MD24 MIDI decoder.” Any information on how to set this up?

Be sure to connect ACC to +12(or +15V), then connect TRIG to the digital port that you want to trigger from. Be sure the microcontroller circuit's ground is connected to the analog circuit ground.

Thank you! Sounds like a capacitor could improve this arrangement, something I definitely will test out. Thank you!

It sounded different though because the piezo signal has multiple peaks and valleys, which adds a jagged attack to the 808 sound I was familiar with. But it was possible to play it with some dynamics. -EA I found that by connecting ACC to +15 and a piezo between TRIG and GND, I could sound the drums by tapping the piezo.

It would make an easy way to give you some dynamic playing... Does anyone have experience with using a piezo to trigger one of the drums? It would make an easy way to give you some dynamic playing…

This has made my efforts for cloning the 808 much easier. Thanks, kroffe, Sweden Eric, you’re the greatest sharing all this information!
