Midi controller.

[Buck_Choi]

just wondering about midi. am i able to use any kind of controller with usb support? say like a game controller that has usb output into computer? and would i be able to map the buttons to do stuff with traktor? or whatever production software? with ease?

as in a controller, as in game controller like a joystick or one that looks like the Playstation ones?

thanks

not any usb controller only those that can send MIDI info.

However, as the hardware is just boards sending info, it obviously can be developed to send MIDI info.

im pretty sure on djtechtools there is someone who controls traktor with a wii control and a guitar hero guitar. the guitar hero drums actually already send MIDI info and can be used as pads.

hey buck. here are the wii and guitar hero djtechtools articles.

the guitar hero one mentions a few programs to map controllers via bluetooth, which should be the same via usb i guess.

only skimmed them.

latency on a purely usb connection would be shithouse.
