okay so iv started a project were im going to build my own electronic drum kit from the ground up and iv been searching for ways to build a drum module as to buy 1 is expensive and if I can make one then why not
so i did some research and the one that got my attention was the MicroDrum http://microdrum.altervista.org/blog/?doing_wp_cron=1486083012.4330480098724365234375
The MicroDrum is a shield/addon that you attach to the Arduino that with some code on the Arduino converts triggers from a piezo transducer to Midi so it can be understood by software like GarageBand or Addictive Drums that then basically enables me to use an Arduino plus the micro drum with a PC to produce the drum sounds and give me a working electronic drum kit
Now the Microdrum's PCB is sold on the website but I'm on a budget and its cheaper to make my own and the maker of the Microdrum supply schematics found here: http://microdrum.altervista.org/blog/downloads/?doing_wp_cron=1486083519.0516369342803955078125 along with picture of the PCB but the Schematics are in PDF format so cannon be opened in something like easyeda for example and i tried to copy the schematics over to easyeda but tbh I'm very confused and do not understand the spider web that is happening in the schematics microdrum supplies and when i get the parts in easyeda and place them they look completely different to what's in the original schematics but if i look at the data sheets for each part they match easyeda but not microdrums schematics so im having difficulty copying the data over my knowledge of electronics is enough to just get me by and i think this a little advance for me im hoping someone will be kind enough to help me out il put any usefull links below

Here is what iv managed to sort out so far but i have no idea if this is correct iv only included 3 Multiplexers because that give me enough ports to connect a standard drumkit and have a spare
