rtfm!
had problems at first, too. very good examples in the readme/manual.
also take a close look to the existing settings-files that come along with the software, very helpful!

ask cheft if you have certain issues, he's always been helpful on this one!

Why 8 analogues? There is only 2 sticks on each controler? or do you get one analogue input for each axis of the stick?

And could these analogues be turned into pots or would they have to be these joysticky type thingymabobs still?

Just remembering... A few years ago I took a course at university called "Children With Big Ears" (I'm not kidding

) For our exam project we took a playstation controller and hooked the pots and buttons up to MAX/MSP via iCube (which is used to translate control voltages to MIDI). We used MAX/MSP to create a audio based game that kids could play with the controller. Very funny project

MAX/MSP and iCube is very expensive and I'm sure this can be done a hell LOT cheaper with relative little efford. But check out iCubes sensors. How about building a bending or stretching thingy that controls an effect in your MIDI software?

wow some of those look like fun... esp the one that detects peoples movement direction and speed... thanks

archie....

wanted to get back to you about glovepie. there is a gui tab that you can use to detect the input button/device then select what to map it to. after you do that a few time you will see in the script.

most of the time its easy like

midi.channel1.ByteControl22 = Joystick1.Button2

left side is the output and right side is the input so it reads kinda backwards this would make joy1 button 2 do midi control 22

or

midi.Control20 = MapRange(Joystick1.x, -1,1, 0,1)

something like that would map the x axis joystick to a midi ... I think

however after you look at some sample scripts you will see theres a ton of stuff you can do, i do not have it totally down myself but I know you can do button combos delays, you could even setup a pot so it could have 1/2 of the range as 1 control, 1/2 of it as something else.

Anyone out there really familiar with this program? I could use some help with some ideas.

Bump.

I'm in the same boat. I've been able to get the scripts written through the GUI, but any time I run the program I get nothing in Traktor.

I'm finding this very frustrating because I picked up Rejoice relatively easily. Once again I'm finding my hardware skills being limited by my incompetence on the software side. Even looking through some Youtube vids hasn't helped as they all seem to focus on Wii remotes etc.

Grrrrrr.....

Archie are you using a loopback driver to go from glovepie, if your not you would need to run the midi out of your pc then back in, just wanted to make sure you had that step. I use loopbe.

Still looking for someone good with glovepie script. I have lots of ideas like shift feature and stuff that could be done if the software.

Thanks Kaleaf, I didn't know I needed Loopbe, I thought it would be ok using Midi Yoke. When I get a few minutes I will try this out. Really appreciate you getting back to me on this. Cheers.
