Description
This is an easy way to use any gamepad, joystick or else as a midi controler, built to work with everything
TUTORIAL
- Plug any hardware in your computer
- Open a live project, insert the device in a midi track
- Choose your hardware in left menu
FOR SLIDERS, KNOBS, JOYSTICKS
- Report ID of each button or slider you want to use
- Look at its minimum and maximum data values and report them (you can also choose to use only a specific range of its coarse) on Min in and Max in
- Active the line (ON/OFF) and map the destination parameter by clicking MAP and then the choosen parameter in your live set
- Set the minimum and maximum values of your destination parameter (MinIn/MinOut)
FOR BUTTONS TO TRIGGER NOTES
- Just report ID and choose the note
You can also use a button with a parameter (same way than sliders). In that case, the button will share the MaxOut value when pressed and MinOut when released.
Limitation :
- All settings are saved with live set but you have to choose the harware in the menu each time you re-open your set
- Don't use many devices with the same gamepad/joystick/.., it causes troubleshootings
- If a hardware is added or unplugged, you have to re-open your set to see an updated list of available hardwares
Enjoy and share !
Let me know if it works for you

J'espère que c'était bien le concert avec Zeb et Julien au mediator ;)
But unfortunately it doesn't work correctly on my pc (win8 x64). The Problem is: The device gets the right input from my logitech dual action, but setting a C1 on ID54 (for example) does not always work (the knob doesn't light up and the note won't get triggered). I got it to work two times, but then no other button input would route and trigger a midi note... I tried another gamepad but get exactly the same problem. I tried both analog and non-analog mode on the gamepads.
Any idea?

What values do your buttons send ?
Thanks very much for this ! I am using dancepads and it works really great ! No need for junxion anymore !
One thing i can not do is launching clips. Do you think it is possible ?
