MIDI controller to send joystick/keyboard data

pchc_lx · 19th February 2007

Hey, new member etc etc so not sure if this has been adressed or not but whatevss...

Anyone know how to use a MIDI controller (I'm using a Novation Remote 25 and an M-Audio Trigger Finger) to send either joystick or pc-keyboard data for use in Windows or other software that doesn't support MIDI mapping? You know, instead of Alt-F4 to close a window I could hit a pad on my MIDI controller and wham! instant awesomeness...

Not sure if this would require extra software to read the MIDI information and translate it or what, but any pointers would be cool. Thanks!

I use a contour shuttle that spits out keycommands
works flawlessly looks nice too.

midi to keycommands would not be practical.

Thanks, the contour shuttle is a cool idea. I've never used one before - any suggestions or pointers for a PC-based application?

Not sure what you meant by the last bit though... care to expand?
