Hello,
I'm very interested in this topic too - I think that the signal
processing power of modern pcs is totally useless (for live playing)
if you don't have an effective/intuitive way of controlling it. At the
moment I'm working on two routes:
1)Supercollider - it can get inputs from any HID (btw I've
heard also Pd does) and easily , and totally customably, convert it to
midi. I've used rig kontrol 2 from native instruments (pedal board
without builtin usb-midi), a bluetooth mouse and a joystick to generate
midi notes and controls... I've controlled with these rakarrack,
jack-rack and freewheeling. It's a good start, but right now I'm
looking at processing sound directly in Supercollider to have the
controls more integrated in the effects (and to have overall more
control on effects)

Well, it seems I should give a try to Supercollider in the near future :). I only ahve experimented with Pd and CLAM.

About HID2USB I know also this project:
http://1010.co.uk/avrhid.html

 
2) Arduino with the the ttymidi library, which is an arduino library +
alsa midi app which, very easily, gives you the possibility to create
midi from within the arduino code, then you simply route ttymidi's out
to any midi in you desire (in qjackctl for example). Have to say that
at the moment I'm having some trouble with this library, though I count
on getting it working (it was a few months ago).


mmm... Really good news that ttymidi. Maybe with this I could have one keyboard as a keyboard itself and another acting as a MIDI keyboard in such a way that I can play on this last one right at the strong beat (really hard when you are alt+tab-ing all the time) and trigger to record a loop with a key on the other, i.e. on Freewheeling.
 
For the moment I've experimented much more on 1 than on 2, but I'm
planning on building some kinds of controls directly on my guitar and
I might use Arduino for that (or I could hack a bluetooth
keyboard if I find one cheap)


I'm really interested on that control-guitar thing, so please keep me informed about. Maybe I could help in some way.
 
In this setup I actually don't need a sound card with MIDI (though I
have one) - HIDs and Arduino are USB. I know it's possible to make
Arduino send Midi on standard Midi plugs/cables, but why bother when
there's ttymidi.


Yes :)

I really appreciate your info.
Greetings, Renato.
