Guitar Hero Controller as a Midi Instrument

[TimWe1994]

hehehe nice!

[TSpikeProductions]

any software that will run on a windows machine? i'm not going to go out and buy an overpriced computer to run a piece of software

[Traegorn]

The Guitar Zeros have an extensive tutorial on how to do something similar on a Windows machine on their website. Youtube isn't letting me post the link though, so you'll have to google it.

oh my God.. grown man playing a toy-guitar and proud of it! :D that is fucked up, but the BEST part - almost nobody thinks this is not normal. where is Darwin, when u need him :D

[Traegorn]

@sir666devil AWESOME

[danukenator123]

lol he is smart, he turn a toy into an instrument. wheres Darwin you ask, he killing of dumb people. your lack of knowledge about darwin is funny

[jayso08]

Lol,I love technology.

[ajk321]

ok good job, but a real guitar is much much better. if we allow people to use game controllers as instruments in real life... then its really fuckd up

[Nagolias]

Technology is the future. and there is no instrument police to outlaw instruments no matter what they are. Sorry to break it to you. People will still use acoustic/electric guitars

This is actually more closely related to a keyboard because that is basically what this is but in a guitar hero controller form.

get a life

[Traegorn]

AWESOME!

[DemonicDerek78]

Lol I like how you responded to that... good job at maintaining professionalism! *thumbs up*

[Iamreallybored123456]

so you can use a rock band controller?

[Traegorn]

The Rock Band Controller works equally well, yes.

[Merkalation]

i hate the strum bar on a rock band controller though

[jhonrox]

cool im trying this right now lol

[Traegorn]

Good luck!

[beingdumbtoo]

wow amazing!!! what program do you use? i'm looking into investing in a project like this...

[Traegorn]

I use Controller Mate with Garage Band -- if you follow the link in the description I go into more detail about it.

[lshade521]

what about guitar hero key stickers?

[Traegorn]

Huh?

[lshade521]

which works better guitar hero controller or rock band? i know the rock band controller has more keys, so more choices right?

[Traegorn]

While the Rock Band controller would let me do a few more things, I wanted this to look distinctly videogame-ish from a distance when I use it in concert. It's funny -- the Rock Band Guitar looks *too much* like a Guitar for my tastes.

[vipor29]

that is freakin awesome dude

[Traegorn]

Thanks!
