MIDI controller drum computer pants

In an earlier post we showed the magic of MIDI and how a simple protocol can control dozens of synthesizers. Now GadgetVenue shows us some YouTube videos of MIDI controller pants. Certain parts of the pants are equipped with touch sensors that work kind of the same way as the keys on a MIDI keyboard. This way you can control a synthesizer and in this case a drum computer is the perfect synthesizer for the job. Below is an example of the drum pants in action. If you still have some old MIDI equipment laying around which you're willing to sacrifice and you want to build your own drum pants you can find a DIY guide on odbol productions.
