Eon_Blue Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Anyone have any experience with this? Hooking up a dance mat to be recognized as a midi controller for playing samples, etc. I understand there are some ways to have game controllers used the same way, a dance mat would be pretty cool as a drum machine or something. Er.. a friend of mine is asking, I don't use those gay dance mats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 That could be a good concept for a kind of foot jamming session. Dance, and create the music at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgx Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 ur gay I've used a program on the mac called Junxion to convert usb signals from a gamepad to midi, but I don't know of anything like that for PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goten X Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Wow, that is a radical idea... I mean, its not really "dancing" per se, but that would be great for DDR songs to play with. Sounds cool. |GX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineko Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 it shouldn't be that hard, neither in the hardware nor in the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappleMan Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard. And you people are just encouraging him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagrance Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard. And you people are just encouraging him! Agreed, no need for it and it'd be a stupid visual because people wouldn't think "oh, cool, that guys activatiing samples with his DDR pad!" but instead would think "WTF is that wanker doing on a DDR pad". MIDI controllers were invented for a reason, to kick ass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navi Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 It's nowhere near as stupid as the keytar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splunkle Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think its a freaking awesome idea, if only for sheer stupid factor. Much like the keytar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Dude, no love for the keytar Still not as wikked as the key-SWORD-tar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelebes Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard. And you people are just encouraging him! It's an extention of the idea of a pedal-keyboard MIDI controller, so it is not all that idiotic. It could lead to a new way of controlling more pedalle signals than what is offered by one or two foot-pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerol Oplan Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I could probably code up a program that would take game controller input (basically anything that's set up as a "joystick" in windows) and make it output midi, but I'm not sure if I can output it to the SYSTEM itself. If you had a way to loopback your midi out, it would work. I'll look into it. (Like I really need more projects right now.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
