I have an old Casio MT100. I would like to trigger the individual drums with one of your devices but am unsure which one would be best for my application.

I'm not too familiar with the MT-100. Is it possible to trigger the individual drums during normal operation? There is not necessarily a product that will trigger them "out of the box" without doing some reverse engineering of the keyboard.

Of course, the keyboard keys could be triggered using the UMR (http://highlyliquid.com/kits/umr/) kit. And if the drum sounds were available on the keyboard matrix (maybe only as an easter egg), maybe the UMR could trigger them. But I don't think that's likely.

Anyway, if there's a way to trigger the drum sounds using a 5V trigger, then the MD24 (http://highlyliquid.com/kits/md24/) kit could work. But I'm not sure where the connections would have to be made...
