I'm very interested in this topic too - I think that the signal<br>
processing power of modern pcs is totally useless (for live playing)<br>
if you don't have an effective/intuitive way of controlling it. At the<br>
moment I'm working on two routes:<br>
1)Supercollider - it can get inputs from any HID (btw I've<br>
heard also Pd does) and easily , and totally customably, convert it to<br>
midi. I've used rig kontrol 2 from native instruments (pedal board<br>
without builtin usb-midi), a bluetooth mouse and a joystick to generate<br>
midi notes and controls... I've controlled with these rakarrack,<br>
jack-rack and freewheeling. It's a good start, but right now I'm<br>
looking at processing sound directly in Supercollider to have the<br>
controls more integrated in the effects (and to have overall more<br>
control on effects)<br></blockquote><div><br>Well, it seems I should give a try to Supercollider in the near future :). I only ahve experimented with Pd and CLAM.<br><br>About HID2USB I know also this project:<br><a href="http://1010.co.uk/avrhid.html">http://1010.co.uk/avrhid.html</a><br>

2) Arduino with the the ttymidi library, which is an arduino library +<br>
alsa midi app which, very easily, gives you the possibility to create<br>
midi from within the arduino code, then you simply route ttymidi's out<br>
to any midi in you desire (in qjackctl for example). Have to say that<br>
at the moment I'm having some trouble with this library, though I count<br>
on getting it working (it was a few months ago).<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>mmm... Really good news that ttymidi. Maybe with this I could have one keyboard as a keyboard itself and another acting as a MIDI keyboard in such a way that I can play on this last one right at the strong beat (really hard when you are alt+tab-ing all the time) and trigger to record a loop with a key on the other, i.e. on Freewheeling.<br>

For the moment I've experimented much more on 1 than on 2, but I'm<br>
planning on building some kinds of controls directly on my guitar and<br>
I might use Arduino for that (or I could hack a bluetooth<br>
keyboard if I find one cheap)<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm really interested on that control-guitar thing, so please keep me informed about. Maybe I could help in some way.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
In this setup I actually don't need a sound card with MIDI (though I<br>
have one) - HIDs and Arduino are USB. I know it's possible to make<br>
Arduino send Midi on standard Midi plugs/cables, but why bother when<br>
there's ttymidi.<br>
