Need help with contollerism
Posted on: 24.01.2011 by Alden Tatmon
So I just picked up a ex2 Arcade Fighting stick for the Xbox and Im attempting to turn it in to a midi-fighter wanna be controller, but Im not sure where to begin. I need a program to be able to map it out, unless there is a way to do it in Traktor Pro S4. Idk just hoping to hear something helpful, thanks

I had the same problem with 64bit Win7, Rejoice wouldn't start; but when it said (something to the effect of) "couldn't start mscomctl.ocx, or it is improperly registered" I copied that file (from Windows\System32) and pasted it to the 64 bit folder (Windows\SysWOW64) and then I tried running Rejoice again, this time an error msg. stating the same problem above except tis time it was for "midiio32.ocx", so I did the same: copy from "System32" and paste to "SysWOW64". Then finally an error msg as above with the file "Comdlg32.ocx" - you guessed it, copy-and-paste. And voila - it worked. DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a Microsoft Dev and cannot begin to explain what all this encompasses internally, and although my computer has not spontaneously caught fire from this procedure (I believe all I have done is to facilitate Windows being able to find the .ocx files that the Rejoice installer was not able to install in the folders that the registry needed to point to) I will just say that "use at your own risk" although I would DEFINITELY NOT advise anyone to lower security by turning off or even lowering the U.A.C. settings. They're at that level for a reason and all kinds of nasty things can happen whilst it is off/reduced in functionality. Good luck, and please - let me know if worked for me works for you. -cheers!

You can turn this off in :
Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change User Account Control Settings

It should now install fine. You can change the settings back once installed. This was on 32bit so im not absolutely sure about the compatibility with 64bit systems but give it a shot.
kk Ill give it a try, and let you know

anyways there are lots of other midi software that can map keystrokes like glovepie which am having a hard time right now to understand :P
but yeah i believe glovepie is a kicking ass software that can do it right !
let me search/test stuff today on my side and let you know what else can work fine
until then have the courage take a deep breath and dive into that sticky thread its really helpful and not really that overwhelmed :P
haha I will, I have already but couldn't find anything that was working for me, then I flipped threw a few pages and got lost

I did install both Rejoice and Midi Yoke, but I couldn't get Rejoice to open up, it said it was missing a file or something weird, I reinstalled it. still didn't work. From the looks of Fergos would be a great way to use this controller, dose anyone have a download link for Fergos and Maple? I know there is that sticky post but its a little overwhelming.

Thanks everyone for the help.

scripting is not too heavy, i just learned from the manual and the examples that come with the pogramm. if you are able to do traktors insane midi mapping, you can also cover glovePIE.

I second the use of Fegos Midi program, its by far the best imo. I use Midiyoke along side which works perfect for me on windows 7.

Have you installed Midi yoke or Maple Midi? You need either of these to get Rejoice working.

Have a look at the sticky at the top with the other programs on there. Work your way through the programs and find out which one suits you best. I have had lots of problems with Glovepie because I don't like the layout and I can't read scripts. That's not to say it's not a great program, lots of people on here swear by it, it's just not for me.

I believe glovepie will convert the signals to midi, or maybe it's midiyoke?

hey Addictive Sounds
welcome to DJTT and to the world of controllers
i myself am new into this (digital djing) and the funny part i have been trying to mod my joysticks into sending midi signals to my DAW since ages and ... it was only yesterday that i have managed to get it working with my DAW and traktor
thanks goes to this tutorial i found by chance on google
http://blogs.howtogeek.com/mysticgee...udio-software/
give it a try and if you still have trouble just let me know i would be happy to help

i assume your controller is usb powered if not i recommend it and go with the Chinese cheap ones they are good enough as far as i heard and have analogue which is a major bonus to control knobs and faders as for the layout you can make a custom one by making a box of your preferred material and adding your own faders and buttons which you can find for cheap in the DJTT store
