Arduino MIDI Drums

This Arduino code defines variables and functions for a MIDI drum pad system with 10 pads. It reads analog sensor values on each pad, sends MIDI note on/off messages for any pads pressed above a threshold, and includes velocity sensitivity and timing to allow notes to retrigger.
