Hey,<br>
<br>
Here's my take at adapting a USB joystick (purchased second hand, $20<br>
for a pair) as a "controller" for my guitar. I actually performed<br>
with that thing. The thumb sticks were replaced by photocells so that<br>
by waving my hand in front (and changing the intensity of light<br>
reaching the components) I could control some continuous parameters.<br>
The buttons of the pad were mapped to various things, depending on the<br>
"preset".<br>

<br>
It was all hooked up to pd in which most of the audio processing took<br>
place except for some presents where the buttons controlled a<br>
sooperlooper instance via OSC.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>What a guitar-attached-controller! ;) It might be good for controlling fx, but maybe a little tricky to start recording a loop at the time you play with your right hand.<br>Anyway, really nice. Do you have the project available.<br>

I have now decided to give up the USB joystick on that instrument and<br>
try to figure something out with the wiimote which is a lot of fun to<br>
play with. The other usual contender is an iPod Touch/iPhone even if<br>
mostly used in connection with OSC.<br>
<br>
Have fun digging, there are a lot of fun projects around.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Talking about wiimote and MIDI, keep track of a project I'm involved that I mentioned some time ago, wiimidi:<br><a href="http://github.com/fontanon/wiimidi">http://github.com/fontanon/wiimidi</a><br>
<br>It's in its first steps, but I hope at the end it would be really easy and useful for every kind of user.<br><br>Thanks.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
