Do the drums sense how hard you hit them and turn it into MIDI velocity?

I wrote a little program that maps the drums to MIDI. It’s not as full-featured (or as customizable) as junxion but it’s free and open source: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=259192

I did the same thing a few months back using a very simple Max/MSP patch... it was actually a dumbed-down version of a patch I wrote for the Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitars (http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61085).
I just used the Xbox 360 and PS3 drivers from Tattiebogle.net to read the HID input, which I then translated to MIDI output within the patch. It's pretty fun to play with in GarageBand.

special hardware.

Its why you cant plug a usb 360 controller in and have it work as a generic pad. You have to have the drivers. With the Wii they are most likely using commercial / generic hardware that allows the system to recog the device. Hey why dont grab a kit from another console and try it out?

But USB is an industry standard, how could the wii essentially be plug and play when all 4 consoles(xbox 360, ps3, wii and the ps2) use USB for the game controllers, the drivers are loaded when you run the disc in the console. Same thing for the pc.

To me, the news here is that the Wii controllers are going to be wired USB, not wireless bluetooth as I was told… Bummer..

I think the Wii kit is essentially plug and play while the others require driver software.
