I haven’t had any experience with plugging ps3 controllers into computers. However… I’m pretty sure they just come up as HID input devices so you could use a program like Glove pie to capture the messages and turn them into midi messages. ---

I used an x-box controller with Glove pie and it works fine, up to the limit of my programming knowledge that is. The buttons on the back don’t seem to work though… I think anything that outputs HID data should be OK… ---

Ha, I would love to be able to pull out an x-box controller in the middle of a gig and start beatmashing with it. At least no one could complain I look like I’m checking my e-mail! ---

Bento you are correct. GlovePie is the way to go. I have been messing with this program for about 5 months now. The possibilities are endless. Its the program I use to make my SQD work. ---
