This is a USB controlled home arcade-quality joystick and pushbutton combo. If someone could make a midi map for this, this would be a fantastic controller.

not really competition for the midifighter since it was stuff like this that was the inspiration for the midifighter in the first place ;)Quote:

having said that u can take an arcade controller like that one and use some middleware software like glovepie or midimasher (when i release my hid code) to convert the hid to midi and add in whatever logic u need.
i'm definately not getting rid of my midifighter any time soon tho - and the classic ones can be bought quite cheaply second hand.
nothing and nope ;)Quote:

the lib i'm using in midimasher is hidapi so might be a good starting point http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/
edit: midimasher can ofc receive/decode midi messages and if i gave lua (scripting language) access to the hidapi code in midimasher then you should be able to call that to send messages to a hid lcd display device. otherwise you could bolt something like the RtMidi lib and libapi and create a custom app. some midimasher lua scripting would probably be simpler tho. the hid format is vendor/devicetype specific - you have any docs on the screen you want to interface with?
cool - sounds interestng. the lcd screen would be 'attached' to your mouse tho?Quote:

So not really a doc to interface with but maybe im not understanding what a doc is...
Over last year, ive tried to dabble in understanding midi and how things work with its data so i seem to always be looking for little tasks like this that i can use as learning excercises..
i was thinking the same thing. I mean that thing is bigger then some controller out in the market. how on earth could that be much more useful?Quote:
