My Guitar Hero MIDI solution, a few of the hurdles i came across and a few things others have done. if you want to use/modify my max patch get in touch with me through http://Zealousy.com and i'll shoot it over to you.

***update***
I've since developed a more sophisticated standalone application called AXIS. It's free and open source.

Saw you at TINA - congratulations on this - this is truly awesome.

[zealtv]

@jjjjjjb thanks man!

[blunttip45]

can you only use this with ableton or can you use garage band too?

[zealtv]

@blunttip45 yep, works with anything that eats midi - hardware or software.

[Megamaniac610]

cool man, I was wondering, would these programs work for a pc keyboard? I want to make some ridiculous midi controller out of a random mac keyboard I got lying around and want to know if it's possible.

[zealtv]

yeah, totally possible. if you're in ableton live you can asign keystrokes to do anything you want usingthe keymapping button,top right. if you want to put out midi for other software then i'm sure there'd be a little freeware keystroke2midi windows program out there somewhere.&if you can't find one then max(like video) or pure data(similar but free)will do it noproblem.

@wiggles, i'm just talking fast to keep it under ten minutes 8P ifidoanotheronelikethisi'lldoi­tovermultipleshortervids.
