MIDI drum pressure to pulse width

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on converting pressure from a piezo sensor into pulse width for a MIDI drum project. The original poster seeks advice on implementing a presettable offset level for pulse generation. A suggestion is made to use a simple resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit connected to a comparator for this conversion. The conversation emphasizes the need for effective methods to achieve the desired functionality in MIDI drum applications. Additional ideas and feedback on this topic are encouraged.

Dear All,
I am making a MIDI Drum project.
I want to convert the pressure sensed by piezo into pulse width with presetable setting to shift the offset level above which the output pulse will be generated.
If you have any other idea to convert pressure to pulse width kindly let me know.
Thanks in advance.

How about a simple RC into a comparator?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
