Going back to the topic[1], here are some more links I had in my bookmarks:
Touchpad 2 Midi <http://www.livelab.dk/touchpad2midi.php> (it seems it's
free but not as in freedom)

perfomance using a PlayStation-style gamepad

Hi Michal,

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.
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.
Anyway, really nice. Do you have the project available.
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.
Talking about wiimote and MIDI, keep track of a project I'm involved that I
mentioned some time ago, wiimidi:
http://github.com/fontanon/wiimidi
It's in its first steps, but I hope at the end it would be really easy and
useful for every kind of user.
Thanks.

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.
