Asked you how you got this set up on your vid in the mixes section, replying here is cool too :P

I'm betting he's using glovepie or some similar software to convert the controller to midi.

Edit- Sorry glovepie isn't the program i'm thinking of. But there are several programs that allow you to translate HID to midi, or keystrokes like Casso mentions below.

i have used a 360 controller in traktor its easy

if u on pc just download a thing called xpadder
plug in the usb 350 controller
asign the buttons to keystokes
then in traktor map what you want to use the controller for to the same keystrokes in traktor and job done

Thats pretty cool. I'm gonna try it out tonight when I get home.

so how do the analogue sticks work? mouse simulation? surely that wouldn't be any use for analogue knobs within traktor?

I have Xpadder on my windows partition, wonderful little program.
However I use Mac OS X for DJing, any ideas on getting functionality for the xbox controller in mac? or would I need some sort of HID to MIDI translator? this is assuming that the 360 controller uses HID? Dunno, I'm starting to think I might get in over my head on this one lol.

yeah xpadder is the shit, heh i use it nfor flash games and emulators

for Mac look into Multicontrol or JunXion ... the latter costs money but it is dead simple to use - I have my logitech joystick with multiple buttons set up to do effects similarly, it's pretty cool (but not so portable unfortunately; these x-box controllers are tempting because they can be tossed in a bag).
