Windows 7 x64 and Gamepad to Midi software

[MiL0]

anyone managed to get anything working at all? Literally every HID to Midi program I've tried doesn't work in Win7... very frustrating...

[MiL0]

don't worry - I'm writing something in Autohotkey instead... will post something up when it's done.

Don't know about midi, but xpadder does the job just fine.
It maps joypad as keyboard buttons, so in traktor just use keyboard mapping instead of midi...

Then you loose all analogue functions.

chrisw - what's the name of the program?

Also milo i had a question. You seem to be pretty knowledgeable on the controller mod soldering part.

I have one of these.


if i opened this thing up and posted detailed pics would you give me some advice on what to solder where? Im thinking of using this to build a traktor mixer controller.

hah that controller is nuts... does it recognise the qwerty keyboard in Windows? You might have problems soldering buttons to the qwerty keyboard but the rest of it should be fairly easy to solder to. By all means, post some pix up of the circuit boards (both sides if possible). If I'm not able to help, someone else on here will I'm sure

Yeah that's controller was a killer!

yeah i bet it will be but i have an uncle who said he would help me when he visits for christmas. with the soldering.

(thank god for relitives who have degrees in reverse engineering and electrical engineering lol)

also on the keyboard theres a shift key so u can shift the function. each key board button has an alternate function.


So for connecting faders. where would i connect them to?
