Essentially this is an attempt to create a electronic drum set from some muting pads, an old keyboard and a computer. For version 0.01 I wrote up a Java app that plays back the drum sounds on key press events. It filters them and even handles shift for the hi-hat open/close, which I’ll use to make the hi-hat pedal work.
The first version was simply called "DrumKit" for lack of a better name, but version 0.02 was an almost complete re-write and was dubbed "DK421" instead.

Version 0.02
This is a complete re-write with a shift to the name DK421. The interface
is the same, but the back-end has changed a bit. It's essentially become
a keyboard driven sound sampler. Anyway, better code and a brighter future
in this version.
Version 0.01
The source is messy,
and still has absolute path's for the sound files.
Essentially it's a frame, a keylistener and some clips. Not too rough,
though patching this together from the Java API and sparse information
on javax.sound.sampled was tougher than I guessed it would be. Anyway,
it’s got some bugs and features not implemented, but I can play drums
with my keyboard now, which is a good start.
