joystick midi mini

Post by palomo » Tue Feb 20, 2007 10:30 am

i'm currently working on a new version of my joystickctrl plug in

I have already a version of the main module of this plug

Image

It's very basic
there's no remapping function or enveloppe events as in joystickctrl

but I suppose that it could be usefull to trig simple event in live
(could works with live 3 with midiyoke midi virtual port)
it supports up to 16 buttons 1 directional pad and could also generate simple notes event with the analog controlers
it has a shift function
so you can trig 46 differents events with a standard double analog joystick
and the cpu is very low

you could also control midiCC with the analog joystick (midi CC nb 1 to 6)
midi messages could be transmit simultaneously to 4 midi channels

if anybody wants to test it (it's a beta version):

there's 2 version in the pack: a vsti version and a vst version (for live 3 and under)

bug reports, comments and suggestions are welcome

Thanks for your work!

One important feature would be the ability to map buttons to cc's ...i use a joystick wired as a pedalboard,and for turning fx on and of in live and guitar rig,cc's are better than note messages; i use rejoyce midiyoked into ableton live,but an internal plugin would be great;that way i would not have to use two programs open...i replaced the joystick buttons with latching ones,two poles,so i can also turn a led on each fottswitch;led on= maximum controller value,led off= minimum

Thanks again!

thank you maneco


that's true

i have already modify the plug (same link as above)

you could now choose beetwen midi CC and notes to trig event (or both)

the only cc value send are 0 and 127 but I suppose it could be usefull in many situation
cc are mapped from the controler 10
controler 1 to 6 are still reserved to true continuous ctrl

I will put a more complex way to send CC in the complete version (you could also use the joystickctrl plug to do send complex midi cc command with only one button)

Thanks !

the two values will be perfectly fine,specially since guitar rig lets you scale the range of the received controller...you really made my day with your amazing plugin...and i will test it during this week,and play live with it next saturday :-)
