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

It was all hooked up to pd in which most of the audio processing took
place except for some presents where the buttons controlled a
sooperlooper instance via OSC.
I have now decided to give up the USB joystick on that instrument and
try to figure something out with the wiimote which is a lot of fun to
play with. The other usual contender is an iPod Touch/iPhone even if
mostly used in connection with OSC.
Have fun digging, there are a lot of fun projects around.

Hi dear folks.
I would like to do some kind of a survey to know about configs, setups,
controllers, etc that you have come to over the years and based on your own
experience. (Well, I already know some of yours for your mails on the list)
It's usual to see piano keyboards and controller boards, i.e. Behringer
BCF/BCR2000 or FCB1010.
But more than this kind of consumer products, which I know many of them, I'm
rather interested in something like (inexpensive and) strange MIDI
controllers, pedal boards, Arduinos, DIY HW... that allow controlling and
have interaction with applications, whether it's Ardour, Rosegarden,
Freewheeling, Sooperlooper, Pd, Supercolider, Mixxx ...
Why this? I've been willing for a long time now to buy an audio interface
with MIDI and maybe some controller, but at the moment I'm still stuck with
just my keyboard and mouse; it's ok with DAWs but an inconvenient when using
live loopers (most of all when playing guitar, and without a MIDI
interface).
Thanks in advance.
