Crazy Controller, Mod Possible?
Crazy Controller, Mod Possible? Posted on: 02.01.2010 by Nena Pua A month or two ago I was lurking around old DJ Tech Tool articles and I got lost in all the crazy mods out there. A few days later I saw the article of the Midi Fighter DIY kit and I got to believeing, what odd controllers have I used over the years? I remembered I have one of these stashed away somewhere.It's a controller for the XBOX game Steel Battalion. It probably can't be modded and I'm sure no one in their right mind would bring it to a club, but I thought maybe, just maybe, someone out there might want to know of its existence. I sent an email to Ean a while back but he never got back to me. Thoughts? | |

| Arnetta Koskinas 21.03.2012 | That would make for an awesome live performance! |
| Anisa Fourte 20.03.2012 | That's freaking awesome man! Wouldn't be easy to take out and about, but would definitely make you stand out! |
| Yong Aptekar 16.03.2012 | Yep, that's some rad-ass-sh*t. That thing would be so cool to throw down some controllerism routines on. Ergonomically, I don't know how good it would be, but we all hunch over desks, so forget ergonomics |
| Cassie Sangermano 16.03.2012 | Nice!!!!! |
| Leta Schlichte 15.03.2012 | Wanted to start a new thread but i searched and found this oldie thread..i guess this belong here! Running Multicontrol on my mac i managed to grab some parameters for my Steel Battalion controller! Dedicated AIRHORN and Inception BWOONNNGGG buttons tell me what you believe! |
| Ethel Feigum 29.01.2010 | So freaking cool! I'd have laser sounds and explosions in all my mixes if I rocked that thing. |
| Irwin Ney 26.01.2010 | man, go ahead and try it, people will call you a fake at youtube, i'm sure they will hahaha they don't know how geek a DJ can be |
| Mathew Meins 25.01.2010 | Here's some VJing with said controller! Mad cool. http://www.vimeo.com/6735613 |
| Elliot Serres 15.01.2010 | Do It!!! It would be amazing!! |
| Reece Murray 13.01.2010 | OMG. Do it!! |
| Tari Bartruff 10.01.2010 | Ever messed with glove pie? its going to be ALOT easier then you believe Do it, I had one of those, manager at gamestop too, and even though this whole controllerism thing didnt exist yet I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Look baddass and take it to burning man. All the free "goodies" you can handle out of admiration. I mean, COME ON. ITS A GIANT ROBOT COCKPIT. I WANNA DJ WITH A GIANT ROBOT. Do it, post video.......3)profit? |
| Nena Pua 08.01.2010 | Well, I'm glad it's possible, haha. I'd do it myself, but I don't have the know-how. Maybe if I get around to doing some research, I'll post something up. Of course, I'd also sell it if anyone wanted to mod it themselves. |

| Random X 03.01.2010 | Damn! That's an awesome idea. If I am correct, most game controllers are hooked up through GlovePIE to be used for MIDI. You might want to look at that. |
| Laurel Litchko 03.01.2010 | haha! thats freakin awesome! i wanted that game back when i still played games. it was 200 bucks when it came out! its a bit bulky for dj-ing, but definitely worth a try. |
| Benita Jankauskas 03.01.2010 | my buddy scott worked at a video game store as a manager, he had that game and controller, it was crazy, and yeah I'd hook it up for midi, but not for DJ'ing, for production work in DP, then it would sit there never being used but just looking really freaky and cool. |
