HELP: Analog Joystick + GlovePIE

[ashwalk]

have you tried setting the range as an odd number?
i.e. min = 0, max = 126 (127 units total)
this way you can use 64 as a middle point.

sup g

this is what im using on my x-fade

midi2.channel1.ByteControl20 = MapRange(Joystick1.x, -1,1, 0,1)


check these settings

-if your midi is not the default system device your going to have to try midi2.channel then midi3.channel unless you know your midi out device

-check calibration in windows for your device

-are you useing a midi cable out and back in to your pc or are you useing software loopback if software I use loobe1 free edition http://nerds.de/en/download.html


try and get your buttons going first if you have not also im not 100 percent sure that my code is the right way to do it but it works for me.

hi guys, do any of you have cheft's ZIP archive with the .PIE config for the joystick, i made a JOYSTICK2MIDI controller and i'm having issues in Windows 7 ... wanted to confrunt the GP codes ... thanks

[alequ]

here a pic of the "device" ... everything's fine but the codes ...

Attachment 2790




this is what i comed up with in GP:

"
//BUTTONS
midi.Channel.C1=joystick1.Button1
midi.Channel.D1=joystick1.Button2
midi.Channel.E1=joystick1.Button3
midi.Channel.F1=joystick1.Button4
//TOP BUTTONS
midi.Channel.G1=joystick1.Button5
midi.Channel.A1=joystick1.Button6
midi.Channel.B1=joystick1.Button7
midi.Channel.C2=joystick1.Button8
//SELECT/START BUTTONS
midi.Channel.D2=joystick1.Button9
midi.Channel.E2=joystick1.Button10
//STICK BUTTONS
midi.Channel.F2=joystick1.Button11
midi.Channel.G2=joystick1.Button12
//POV
midi.Channel.A2=joystick1.Pov1Up
midi.Channel.B2=joystick1.Pov1Down
midi.Channel.C3=joystick1.Pov1Left
midi.Channel.D3=joystick1.Pov1Right
//ANALOG STICKS
midi.channel1.Slider1Fine=MapRange(Joystick1.x, -1,1, 0,1)
midi.channel1.Slider2Fine=MapRange(Joystick1.z, -1,1, 0,1)
midi.channel1.Slider3Fine=MapRange(Joystick1.y, -1,1, 0,1)
midi.channel1.Slider4Fine=MapRange(Joystick1.roll, -1,1, 0,1)
"



what this does in WIN7 x64 is ... plays a piano sound when pressing diferent buttons on the "controller" ... also .. trktor for example does not detect as midi input wher learn function is on ... ableton also ... in XP worked OK ... any advices ? pointers ?

I couldn't get Chefts zip archive to extract?

Anyway found this script by Cheft over at the glove pie forum.

//DUEL ACTION GAMEPAD TO MIDI
//WRITTEN FOR MIDI CHAN 1 ON JOYSTICK #1
midi.DefaultChannel=1

midi.Control2=(joystick1.y/261)+64
midi.Control3=(joystick1.z/261)+64
midi.Control4=(joystick1.roll/261)+64

Not sure if its what your after but it helped me figure things out

Thanks to Cheft

try changing the midi.channel1 to midi2.channel1, midi3.channel1, ... ect

I have win7 64 also and it seems in the gui tab i select midi device but code is always just midi. If in the pull down tab your midi device is 3rd down then try midi3.channel1. Problem is I can not find how to set default midi device in windows.

search with Google for - "Vista Default Midi" - the option to chose default midi was removed when Vista appeared - someone created a lil' app to let you chose default midi .


actually here it it - http://www.benryves.com/products/vistamidi

SAME thing extraclassic ... ... so this only means that the code does the same thing but writen in another way ... and implicitly i think overal the code works ... picks-up de signal sent by the joystick and converts it to MIDI signal ... the weird thing is that in Windows XP when pressing the joystick/"controller" - there was NO sound in a desktop environment and while in Traktor OR Ableton midi "lights" were signaling MIDI input ... also when assigning a button to a MIDI signal everything went perfect ...


NOW in Windows 7 ... i hear the classic piano sound - on notes even - everyjoystick/"controller" button is a piano note ... the thing is thow that no MIDI software can pick-up MIDI signal ... nothing ... absolutelly nothing ... piano sound everytime - BUT NO MIDI signal in midi apps.

hope i gave a better description this time and hopefully at least one person encountered the same issue with Windows 7 -> and has a solution .

thanks.
