Youtube video notes:

"A friend recently gave me this Dreamcast arcade stick. After ordering an usb adapter and downloading a software called Multicontrol I was able to send midi data to Ableton.
You can do this with any old controller.

this is the first half of a dual gamepad glovepie script posted in a diff thread by extraclassic that should work for one gamepad afaics.
