marmorkuchen Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hi !How about a big game joystick as a pitchbend controller ? ;DIam a total midi noob but maybe you can help me to get thisthing done.I want to connect this controller between my keyboard and tritone rackas a cool gimmik to pitch with that big joystick.I think I have to build a circuit which converts the joystick signal into MidiPitch messagesfor my rack..but how ?Anyone had the same idea and did it ?greetings,Mammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Rabbit Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I think your Joystick uses pots (perhaps even 10k)http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_ain.htmlconnect your pots directly to the AIN. - No need to convert any digital format.Greets, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmorkuchen Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 thank you ! But what are "pots" ? Do you mean Ports ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Pot is short for potentiometer :)If you're not too sure what that means, I'd recommend running a search for some Electronic basics links ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmorkuchen Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Pot is short for potentiometer :)ah okay I see :) thank you !So I connect the pots of my Joystick (to get the X/Y position of it) with the AIN, which isa multiplexer module. But where to go with these signals after it ?Mammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 But where to go with these signals :-\ it has all been written down before. You should really read some basics. If your questions become more specific; then the answers will be more specific, too:http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php#generalhttp://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php#basicshttp://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=introduction_to_ucapps.deThe main question is, if you want to hack some existing application like mb64 or if you just need one pitchBend in your custom box, that means if you want to hack (or better: midify) your joystick. In this case you should check out the AppDev C-Code pages, too:http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=application_developmentregards,Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
