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". http://tinyurl.com/yzgrzvp 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. ./MiS On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 1:36 PM, Carlos Sanchiavedraz <csanchezgs@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 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.
