I don't remember exactly how this idea come to my mind, but here I am !
I used to know Pure Data from about a year, and I have and unused gaming joystick on my desktop. Well why don't try to use it as a MIDI controller ?
I first try to find some softwares to do it. But we have to pay for them. Then I watched a Pure Data tutorial explaining exactly how to do that. Internet is fantastic !
Why did'nt I think about it earlier ?
Check it out ! That would be awsome for a live lead solo !
(I didn't really apply myself for this video i'm sorry, i just did it after programming the setup, late night but you understand the potential)
Watch on youtube.com
I can give you further explanations if you want, the tutorial doesn't explain everything. I had to learn a bit more about how to do some logic conditions and so.
