Midi Controllerism Software

**Archies'bald** · 11-19-2010, 03:46 PM

I can confirm that the software Robin posted very, very good. I had it running in about 10 - 15 minutes with multiple controllers. I even have my rotary encoders running through it. Fantastic!!!

The only minor downsides to it is that it only supports 6 analogues per joystick (my Leo Bodnar has 8) and that it doesn't seem to support a hat switch either. I may be wrong on these points, but I've only had the software open for half an hour. Even so, this software is well worth a look folks. Anyone who finds Bomes and Glovepie a bit scary should download this now.

Thanks Robin.

No

Rejoice is still better for this!

I tried it with an old Xbox controller with XBCD 1.07 drivers. The XBCD driver setup lets you remap the hat buttons to just another button - I mapped them to 11-14 and FJmidi recognized them. This is pretty cool software.
Woohoo for Fergo!

i've already talked by email with the developer of fergo (a 22 year old kid) and he is planing to work on a second version of the program, that will include a lot of new things... let's see when...

because now it doesn't support hat switch...

rejoice seems to be the best option... but i'm having problems with windows 7...
