Drum Trigger

When playing drum kit in a piece I use a cymbal pad from an electric kit that's connected straight into the computer. MAX/MSP then triggers actions when the pad is hit (the pad acts like a microphone, when hit it sends a massive audio signal).

This means I can trigger a set of changes that are sent to Ableton Live using a counter. Every time the pad is hit it counts up one number and sends whatever action is programmed for that number.
