Yes, triggering recording of loops was impossible in some contexts.
At that time I did not require a very tight loop sync so it was good
enough.

I am not sure what you mean by "project".  Although I try to archive
as many performances as possible, I could not pinpoint today which
employed that gizmo.  So I do not have any specific recordings.  Else,
if you mean DIY project instructions, I never really compiled any.  It
was just a spur of a moment thing when I ripped a joystick open,
bent-circuit it and fastened to the guitar with elastics.  Not much
thought put into it, as long as it worked.  The only documentation is
the set of pictures you saw on flickr.

That's cool.  I have been using the [cwiidmote] in Pd but it is good
to know that other alternatives exist, especially since I hack python
occasionally as well.
