Hi all, I'm just getting started with digitial music creation and I'm facinated with the endless possibilities for customization. Right now my motto is "cheap and homemade"
To start with, my controller is a $15 usb keyboard merged with a gutted 80's electronic piano. I'm also working on a Jog wheel made from an old turntable and an optical mouse. These controllers will be pretty limited, but for now I would just like to learn some techniques without investing loads of cash.
As of now I have my controller sending out usb signals, but I cant seem to get the hang of converting USB to MIDI and getting programs like ableton and traktor to recognize.
I'm using the free trial of JunXion on my Intel Mac, which is frustrating because I cant save... Is there any freeware program that will let me convert usb-HID to MIDI?
As I said I'm using an Intel mac with OS-10.4.something, Ableton Live 6.something and Traktor 3.
Also, I was trying to think of a HID device that has pots or sliders... something cheap that I could use to make a mixer with faders and knobs..... hmmmmmm
