    Default guitar hero and traktor

    hey guys i want to use my wii guitar hero controller to work with traktor. plain and simple i just want to map the wii to some keys on my keyboard, but since i´m on a mac i can´t use glovepie to do that.
    anybody can recommend me a programm that will convert wii messages into qwerty keys for mac?

    I did this with a Guitar Hero controller and junxion. Everything worked great in terms of being able to get the signals from the guitar hero and map them in traktor (as long as junxion is running). It's a pretty fun way to control some effects and stuff but I've found it useless in a live gig situation unless you already have a crowd watching you and primed for you to do something cool.

    Had an idea (and some plans) to build a MIDI fighter into an actual guitar body with a crossfader and buttons and some knobs and touchstrips. Collected a lot of parts for this project but I don't know if it will ever happen; I kind of got stymied on making the thing wireless (it's surprisingly not an easy task!) and realized that the plastic guitar hero controller plus junxion already did about 80% of what I was going for, and has the wireless thing solved simply and painlessly.

    thanks for your post!

    but! i finally found exactly what i needed. i just wanted a program that converts the message of a single button on my guitar into a keystroke on my apple keyboard (cause i don´t fancy midimappings )
    well after installing hid2midi, darwiinremote, gamepad companion and controller mate i was done. nothing really worked or it was way to complexe.
    well now i found a neat little programm called http://wiiji.veltrop.com/ that does excactly what i want
