Youtube video notes:

"A friend recently gave me this Dreamcast arcade stick. After ordering an usb adapter and downloading a software called Multicontrol I was able to send midi data to Ableton.  
You can do this with any old controller.

i dont have a game controller here atm but have been using glovepie from a touchpad. a few other threads have mentioned using glovepie on windows to convert gamepad output to midi recently including some scripts being posted.

this is the first half of a dual gamepad glovepie script posted in a diff thread by extraclassic that should work for one gamepad afaics.

```auto
midi.DefaultChannel = 1

//Gamepad 1 - Buttons
midi.csharp0 = Joystick1.Button1
midi.d0 = Joystick1.Button2
midi.dsharp0 = Joystick1.Button3
midi.e0 = Joystick1.Button4
midi.f0 = Joystick1.Button5
midi.fsharp0 = Joystick1.Button6
midi.g0 = Joystick1.Button7
midi.gsharp0 = Joystick1.Button8
midi.a0 = Joystick1.Button9
midi.asharp0 = Joystick1.Button10
midi.b0 = Joystick1.Button11
midi.c1 = Joystick1.Button12

//Gamepad 1 - POV
midi.csharp1 = Joystick1.Pov1Left
midi.d1 = Joystick1.Pov1Right
midi.dsharp1 = Joystick1.Pov1Up
midi.e1 = Joystick1.Pov1Down

//Gamepad 1 - Analogs
midi.Control1=(joystick1.x/261)+64
midi.Control2=(joystick1.y/261)+64
midi.Control3=(joystick1.z/261)+64
midi.Control4=(joystick1.roll/261)+64

```
