Just wanted to report that there's an error with the link to the zip: http://roland.entierement.nu/pages/wiimidi-0.7.tar.gz I think it is: http://roland.entierement.nu/pages/wiimidi-0.5.tar.gz (...then you could change also the version number on the info page, 0.7 -> 0.5) Thanks for sharing. Regards P.S: Some yeras ago I started a similar project that was also to be called "wiimidi", but never got time to finish it properly. But at least I got to integrate the Wiimote in Pd and in CLAM. -- Carlos sanchiavedraz * Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.es _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
