xbox Controller Makes Drum and Bass

So you've master guitar hero and rock band but what next?

Take a copy of glove pie, an x box controller and a copy midi yoke and a copy of reaktor and your away.

Glove pie converts any inout to any output, in the case x box controller signals to midi signals, midi yoke then routes this into reaktor and a sample synth type machine built in there does the rest.

left analogue stick controls the synth pitch, buttons fire various one shot samples, operate gates for oscisllators or trigger a loop, the right analogue stick controllers a filter.

its a dam site harder than rockband

  4. Captain,

    I'm trying practically everything to figure out how to use GlovePIE, Midi Yoke, and Reason. Any chance you can still post that script for GlovePIE?

    Thanks a TON

    You will need to ensure your inputs and outputs are set up correctly and that you route everything through virtual midi ports.
