**Midi Controllerism Software** I’d like to collect PC software here that will convert different signals from a variety of input devices into MIDI or keystrokes for use in controllerism. Please don’t clutter this thread with “Oh WOW” and “That’s great!” Start a new thread about that software. Just add links in the format I’ve started, and even add a quick description. Add any new categories, I skipped iPhone since I don’t have one.

Ha ha quoted myself. I’m having trouble getting most of the programs to work properly. I think my favorite is “Livesticks”. It allows you to import a picture of the controller you are using. And there enough option to pretty much do whatever you want with whatever controller your using. ---

Controllerism is the art and practice of using musical software controllers to build upon, mix, scratch, remix, effect, modify, or otherwise create music, usually by a Digital DJ or “Controllerist”. Controllerism developed at the peak of USB midi controller market during the turn of the century. ---
