Awesome! I'll put in my order when I get home from work~
Here's the guide I used: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.ph ... tcount=117
This cork plate worked without needing any modifications: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000 ... UTF8&psc=1
For steps 9-10, I couldn't get a 5 mm hole puncher, so I stuffed the holes with tissue and put tape over the holes. I also stuffed some tissues into the empty area shown in step 3 to lessen the impact from hits.
You might have to do some more modifications after testing (some of the rubber would make the kat parts too sensitive on mine, so I had to cut those pieces of rubber off), but if you're willing to do that, the results are very noticeable.
On another note, I haven't gotten my converter yet, but I can't wait to use it. I might make a video on it if I can properly record it and show the improvement in delay.
i already have a recording from today if you want to see the no delay https://twitch.tv/deconstream/v/80370278
Now it's time to figure out how spinners and bouncing works, eh?
I'm assuming you're using the guide from above; can I ask how much the mod cost you and where you bought everything from?
this was mainly just to show how responsive the drum itself was. i haven't modified any of the sensors for the rims yet. well i did, but i screwed them up so i reverted back to normal and i'll try them again tomorrow.
i used the exact guide you linked. the cork things cost me $7.99 for three + shipping, i managed to get some scrap rubber for free at home depot, and the rest of my shopping was buying a mini hole punch and some tape which probably cost me $3 total. it wasn't too bad at all, and the mod itself probably took me 2 hours. filling all of the holes with rubber takes more time than you'd think, plus i didn't really know exactly what i was doing.
just a warning, if you mod like this, you can't overlap the left and right side rim sensors with the rubber or both sides will be treated the same which can cause some problems. i also noticed there's a spot right in the middle of my drum that hits both dons at the same time, but that's super minor.
once i can perfect the sensors on the rims i'll update and let you know how it goes c:
Look forward to the update!
You can ship it.
Thanks
Hope that came out alright, Google Translate and all...
PM me if you're still interested
It does not come with a drum, if that's what you're asking?
I wonder if there is a set of drum in it.
So... it is just a converter...
Nevermind... I checked out a set of tatacon online
Everything are so expensive...
I am currently prototyping a "basic" version of the converter. It may be $15 instead of $25. I'm not sure if I can make it work. Shall see...
No Wii controller required! The controller plugs directly into the converter as though it were a wiimote.
2 months late, I'm afraid. Knockoff is all the same (as far as I can tell) - design is simple and playable, you just have to hit don a little hard. And noisy. But it works well!
aww that sucks very new to taiko like a few days old lol. got bored with mania and decided to try something new. but I have always been fascinated with taiko drums! (the arcade)
i see. well guess i will only get to play during the day then if i were to get it
oh btw, may i know which type of knockoff drum do you own?
is it this kind

Anyone who needs one before May can pm me. I can't really afford a new drum with a baby on the way... $25 shipped. US buyers only.
Ah! Mine came today! (I hadn't said earlier, but I had scrapped up enough money to buy one! ;3) I can't test it now since i'm actually still remodeling my drum, but I can do it later. I can update then! Thanks so much @montymintypie!! ! (For the little gifts too :33)
EDIT: I had finished fixing my drum, and i've gotta say, this works wonders! I love it so much. There's no delay at all for me. I can now play songs that are not on TnT Wii with a tatacon, and effectively! Thank you again!! :3!

New updates - I bought a 3D printer. Delivery sometime next week. If all goes well, this means I can add cases to all future converters for no extra cost

Super duper easy. Completely plug and play, with the Chrome app to change the key bindings.

If you're thinking of buying one, could you fill this survey on case colour? I'll be able to offer white, black, blue and red and would like to know roughly how much to print of each. If there's big demand for another colour I will buy more filament.
PCBs have shipped and I should receive them within 2 weeks. It may take a bit longer to start shipping since that'll coincide with my exams for this semester. But almost there

First of all, hi to the community. Noob here. Made an account just to write in this thread and discovered Osu! on the way
I wanted to congratulate montymintypie for such awesome board, one of the coolest I've seen in my life and this comes from someone with several Cave PCBs at home. I wanted to buy a couple of boards with blue and red boxes although my daughter would prefer pink I'll be checking for updates. Keep up the good work!

I'll be checking for updates. Keep up the good work!Just wondering, when the first post said to expect a resupply this June, is that recent (2016)? Does it work with cheap knockoff Tatacons? And does osu! automatically detect it when plugged in? And will this batch have cases?
Topic Starter
Yes, this June 2016! This parcel is taking its time to arrive at my house...
I own both genuine and knockoff, works on both. Even works on the very expensive Hori controllers.
Osu doesn't need to detect the drum as it pretends to be a keyboard. However I do like navigating songs with the drum, expect that to come to osu when it becomes open source.
Yes to cases for this batch - printer is ready!

Thoughts as I finalise cases - what option would people prefer?
- Cases are glued and cannot be taken apart without snapping. Stronger.
Cases are clipped and look a little worse, but can be taken apart if you want.
Just got into Taiko and am interested in this.
I probably wouldn't mod it, so I would prefer the glued version.
I probably wouldn't mod it, so I would prefer the glued version.
If the case is strong enough with clipped parts, i'd say you can go for clipped.
I dont mind if its glue or clipped for my reasons

so whats the status for now? when are they going to be available?
They should be in stock very soon from what ive seen. Also this is for monty, i had a suggestion for a new color, the official osu! Shade of pink. I think it would be pretty nice to have that as a color option.mizuki-chan wrote:

Mere days away (for real this time!). I've finally got the quality up to scratch, the solution is to just print everything really slowly. I'm printing ~8 of each colour so I actually have stock to sell when I open orders. It's about 10 hours of printing so including breaks, 2 days absolute tops. Prepare your wallets
Have also ordered the next 50 PCBs. Stock issues should subside

I totally would go for a transparent one, especially since they used to have a face on the board. But I was impatient and bought a white one as soon as they came out.
My tatacon just arrived in the mail, and after hours of butthurt trying to pair my Wiimote I got it to work. I note in the product features that it's so sensitive you can bounce your sticks for multihits; trying out the tatacon, though, I noticed it takes a good amount of force whacking it to get a hit. Is the converter more sensitive than the Wiimote, or is it a hardware thing? Because I really don't want to get noise complaints from my neighbors, during the night it sounds as loud as a real drum.

well my converter came in today, i will say the 0 delay claim is true and it's really fun to use! still trying to get used to how to actually control the drumsticks and hit the correct part of the drum, i find myself often hitting a dead part of the drum when i try to hit kats c:
i think my drum is just trash though because it's having a lot of trouble registering even the most basic hits. i messed around with debouncing settings and stuff, and nothing seemed to make any difference. the drum was new and it's the same one that comes with taiko wii games, but i can't really test the drum on its own without the game.
regardless, after a 2+ hour session playing random maps to test it out, i have to say it's a lot of fun! i'll definitely do some more testing to confirm it's just the drum having problems and not the converter c:

My drum has the same mods as the neogaf post - I made the mistake of covering everything with rubber and I often hit kats and dons at the same time which was a huge pain. I've since taken it apart again and left gaps around the edges and it's much better. Also remember to leave gaps for the kats too! I'm still double hitting some kats when I shouldn't be, I'll take it apart and fix it for good soon...

If you're unlucky it can take up to 3 weeks, but post to the US seems fairly consistent.
If you're unlucky it can take up to 3 weeks, but post to the US seems fairly consistent.
So I have kind of a weird setup. Basically none of my laptops/tablets are able to handle Osu efficiently, & I can't play near my PC. So my only choice is to connect my PC from 10 meters away to the big screen TV using hdmi & usb extension cables. I run the game at 720p to prevent screen tearing, & the speaker is in the same room so the sound is fine.
But then the input lag from the tatacon is quite noticeable during high bpm songs, due to the long distant usb cord. I can still hit the notes if I focus on the beats, but the Don/Kat sounds are really distracting because they play a bit late after the hit.
Do you guys have any ideas how to reduce the latency? I did some googling & some people suggest using a USB hub, but I'm not sure if that's gonna make a different

Topic Starter
Due to the nature of USB, it either works or it doesn't - there is no extra latency from a long USB cable (technically 30 nanoseconds, but that's about 100,000 times shorter than you can notice).
Is the audio coming through HDMI too? Some TVs can have atrocious input lag, and if it's handling the audio too it could explain it. If it's the audio, you may have to run a 3.5mm cable along with the rest
If that fails, try and look at the lights on the converter - see if they're also lagging. It could be the controller isn't sensitive enough and only registers a hit some time after you actually make it. I think this is unlikely as even bad controllers register hits on time, you just have to hit them really hard.
Good luck!

Aye I think this is a sweet Idea. I am kindo late to the Taiko segment of Osu, However my sister recently got this great interest in it and would like to play with the drum set. I was wondering what I should do about it because after a ton of research it seems that the default wii drum is bad. Do I absolutely have to Mod the drum or can I buy one that works good right away? After I figure what I will do about the drum, I would love to buy one of these converters to fix the lag problem!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I would definitely say the default wii drum 100% needs modding. That being said, there are 2 other options:
Hori drum. Practically arcade spec. $270. Somewhat overkill..
$30 Chinese knockoff drum. Feels funny to play on since they use real buttons instead of capacitive sensors, but without mods it plays better than the official drum without mods.
If you mod the official drum it's the best value for money, but if you don't want to mod anything I think the knockoff wins.

Yeeees I see, well I will more than likely be going for the mod-route then. I see the official Taiko Drum for like $50 bucks on amazon, so I figure it will be okay. I look forward to trying everything out!
Thank you for the quick response omg.

What do you mean by modding the official drum? What are its shortcomings? Is there a guide anywhere on what you can do to make it better?

If I buy a Wii tatacon drum or wii U tatacon are they both compatible with osu? Also if I use a wii tatacon u to usb converter do I bypass owning a wii console or wii U console entirely?

I can't remember off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure the Wii U drums also connect via the Nunchuck connector. If this is the case, it will work fine with my converter! You don't need a wii at all
how long would it take to ship to Korea?

Never sent one there! It could be as fast as 1 week, Korea is quite closecaptainblund wrote:

You are in Japan?

Nope, I am based in Australia. Closer than America 
Is it possible for shipping to Korea to be cheaper than normal?
Topic Starter
Because the converter is small, I get away with pretending it's a "Large letter". Because of this, cost saving of sending to Korea is only 60 centscaptainblund wrote:

It does not come with a drum, if that's what you're asking?Actually you answered what I was trying to askmontymintypie wrote:

I wonder if there is a set of drum in it.
So... it is just a converter...
Nevermind... I checked out a set of tatacon online
Everything are so expensive...

Yes, the drums are not cheapfanhoho wrote:

I am currently prototyping a "basic" version of the converter. It may be $15 instead of $25. I'm not sure if I can make it work. Shall see...

My prototypes arrived - due to differences in the USB and Nunchuck connector, they do not work. Oh well :\montymintypie wrote:

Having remembered this is a thing, I'm highly considering picking one of these up once I have the funds to afford getting a wii drum. Possibly after the holidays depending on circumstances. Would be something great to play around with when I'm not up for really hard songs.

Email notifications froze again, sorry for the delay.Jism wrote:
Will I need a wii controller for this?
No Wii controller required! The controller plugs directly into the converter as though it were a wiimote.
Nice! I sent my money through paypal, hoping that this converter will be pretty good.Thanks!
The adapter came in the mail in about 3 weeks, and there isn't any noticeable delay from it. The only thing I need to do is fix my tatacon's rim, the hits are not very accurate and I have to hit pretty hard for it to register. Overall I'd give the adapter a 10/10. My drum however gets a 3/10.
Wow, that seems great!
I'll be ordering one since I was given a knock off Taiko remote, but I actually want to try and replicate your work as a side project.
Thing is, I know next to nothing about Arduino and the likes.
How do I go about making my own Tatacon to USB converter?
I'm prepared to learn whatever it takes.

is this tatacon only? would this work on the wii fight stick?
Safe assumption that this doesn't work for the wii fight stick. May want to look into a different converter for that.
I just hoped on the taiko train, this seems really nice ~ Any updates on the refill ?
And since nobody ever asked ima ask here : can it work without installing Chrome - and ever better, can it be customised without using the Chrome app ? Mytoaster laptop's burning at 60°C without anything launched, so I'm not too keen on installing new softwares on top of that.

If I had a dollar for every missed 'new message' notification from the forums, I'd have... at least 6 dollars.
Oh, and sorry to crush the colourful people, but the next batch will be black only (unless you 3D print your own case). I've had ongoing issues with getting parcels out on time, and I don't like being that guy. Making them all black lets me pre-print everything for massive gains in shipment speed.
Arduino Leonardo (for keyboard emulation), nunchuck adapter for arduino ($1 off ebay) and communicate via I2C to the nunchuck. You can even use my code, just as long as you hook it up to the right pins.SugoiReborn wrote:

Refill coming ~soon~, waiting for my PCB fab to ship. You do need the Chrome app to configure things, but can uninstall it once you do, since it remembers the settings.Stalzak wrote:

Far longer than promised, but back in stock! And $5 discount for the next month.
USB adapter came in today. Works great! I have a question more so about osu. Is there any way to lower the sensitivity of drum hits? Because I feel like I have to hit really hard on the drum for it to register hits.

If it's an official drum, use this mod. If it's a chinese clone, you just have to hit harder :\
Yes, it's an official drum. Thanks for the link! Definitely going to look into this.montymintypie wrote:

Does all knockoff tatacon were made the same design? the official drum is very pricey
thinking of buying a knockoff since there is no way i can afford the official ones..
oh btw, is the discount still available? :3 /cheapskate

2 months late, I'm afraid. Knockoff is all the same (as far as I can tell) - design is simple and playable, you just have to hit don a little hard. And noisy. But it works well!
