**DJ Hero as SCRATCH MIXER!** So i was able to map the buttons from the Wii DJ Hero mixer with Ableton, I’m also running Serato outputs into M-Audio Audio Interface jus to try.. Couple things, I wasnt able to get a good feel when i mapped the Turntable controller with Traktor, and the crossfader doesn’t go far enough across to cut the other channel.. Theres suppposed to be an update for the CF issue and i’m working on that now.. Well it was good fun messin’ around with this little simple controller, hopefully i’ll hav more to share soon! https://www.youtube.com/embed/RSX6Au0smdE?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ---

@mr.drummer.boy PC Wiimote Midi.. - A Wiimote - A Bluetooth Dongle (if your computer doesn’t have Bluetooth already, about $30). - GlovePie (freeware). Converts the signals sent from your wiimote to Midi (or anything else). - MidiOX (freeware). Manages MIDI. Although I can use it to route my in and outputs, I really only use it as a MIDI monitor. You can contribute to MIDIOX thru Amazon.com-- I gave them 10 bucks. I dont know if these softwares support the DJ Hero Controller tho.. Osculator took a few updates until it was working [http://ericmedine.com/tute\_wiitomidi.htm](http://ericmedine.com/tute_wiitomidi.htm) ---

I am curious to hear how it works for you. When I watched the video I was reminded of the mad zach/djtechtools momentary effects in ableton video ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qm7diUTQZI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qm7diUTQZI)). I would imagine that with the crossfader and momentary effects with ableton you could get some really cool sounds when scratching.
