the ALSA sequencer already provides 90% of the infrastructure
described. all that is needed is something to read from the game
controller and queue immediate MIDI events ...

IIRC, Frank Neumann has already shown his tablet controller working as
a MIDI device at the last linuxtag, and it was quite impressive.
so, the gamepad support must be easy as well.

hallo frank,
would be nice, if you could release your little hack. i'm looking more
for a Wacom -> OpenSoundControl application, but everything that turns
my wacom tablet into an audio controller is nice...
btw, what is the HID driver?

HID stands for "human interface device" and is part of the USB specs.
H.C. Steiner wrote a hid/event external for Pd, available on
pure-data.sf.net, that might fill your short term needs for a
Wacom-OSC bridge, as long as your Wacom is USB (set it up like
described here: http://www.daszler.de/linux/wacom_usb.html (german))
ciao

I would like something which accepts plugins for different
controller types (serial-port controller kits are widely available,
GDAM supports rangefinders on parallel port which allows filter
cutoffs to be adjusted moving hands through the air, GDAM supports
a ps2 keyboard on the mouse port for a very cheap 120-key
trigger/toggle solution) and plugins for different outputs (OSC
would avoid having to cram everything through MIDI) and hopefully
the ability to split data to a socket so controllers can be used
by more than one piece of software. Controllers are an important
aspect of computer music, and i think this is another area
where peoples' efforts are not reused or shared (guilty myself)

Trivial, I allready have code to read from USB game controllers to run a
synth (thanks Frank for the idea!), adding MIDI out would be little
effort.

Yes, as some of you saw at LAD conference, I was using a PSX gamepad
fed into Pd to control the patch. As Pd can also generate midi data,
this is a full solution. I was using the joystick Pd external which
reads from the /dev/input/js devices, but now there also is an
interesting alternative by Hans-Christoph Steiner, who wrote an
external that reads from the event devices. The code is available
here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pure-data/externals/hcs/
This seems to be even more flexible than just using the joystick
interface, because it opens up input from even more idevices than just
joysticks (but is limited to USB)
