basically what i want to do is this. I'm in a band lets say a harder edged synthy-power-pop-punk band(hard to describe). Anyway we have some parts of our songs that are kinda dancy(and use the synth heavily). Anyway what i'm looking to do is have another bass pedal, that would be like the one on an electronic drumset, and just have that hooked into my powerbook, so that everytime i hit it, it produces a louder more computerized bass drum sound, rather than a regular acoustic drumset sound.
So say if i got this:

what would i need to make it so i can plug the output of that(what does it output the trigger signal in anyway? midi cable? 1/4"?)into my computer, then out of the headphone jack of my computer into an amp, to play the sound that i choose on my computer.
What interface do i need and what kind of computer program would i use? I'm not new to the world of drumming, and not new to the world of computers by a long shot, but i'm having trouble understanding this midi thing. Thanks in advance for your help!
