Glovepie Gamepad Script By Extra Classic
Posted on: 23.05.2011 by Joan Kollmorgen
Here is a script for 2 Gamepads that I've just made for Glovepie. This script will translate your button, thumbstick and POV into midi.

I'm hoping this might help some of you get your gamepads communicating with your DJ software.

Please note that I use Windows XP although I have been told Glovepie works fine with Windows 7 too. You also need to have Midiyoke or the equivilant installed first.

This script will give you per Gamepad.

Buttons = 12
POV = Left, Right, Up, Down
Analogs = 4 (x, y, z, z roll)

Remember children to say thankyou if you find this useful

first test then would be to close traktor and run midi-ox, select the virtual midi port you are using, and check that you are seeing midi messages being dumped out when you press each button on the gamepad.

if that works then it should just be a case of closing midi-ox, going into traktor, adding a new generic midi device and connecting it's IN port to the same virtual midi device you tested with midi-ox.

yep - but which notes depend on whether u need normal mode (deckalized) or 4banks (instant grat)

i'm sure there's a glovepie script here somewhere for both modes, that uses the top row as bank change buttons. here's all the note info anyway:

Code:
normal mode

C3    C#3   D3    D#3
G#2   A2    A#2   B2
E2    F2    F#2   G2
C2    C#2   D2    D#2

4 bank mode

C-1   C#-1  D-1   D#-1
G#2   A2    A#2   B2
E2    F2    F#2   G2
C2    C#2   D2    D#2

(replace octave 2 with 3,4,5 for other banks in rows 2,3,4)

//midi.channel3.cc68 = MapRange(Joystick1.z, -1,1, 0,1)
//midi.channel3.cc69 = MapRange(Joystick1.roll, -1,1, 0,1)
thanks for this, I got it working thanks to you guys, now I am believeing about the mapping, can you suggest some reminders in mapping your gamepad midi controller because I cant decide the functions of each button because I want it to be useful as I expected..thank you in advance ;D

the trick i always use is to add this to your config:

then the name of the output device will be shown in a small debug text box near the top of glovepie. i always have it in my configs as i often change midi devices so always need to confirm that the right one is selected.

alternatively you can use this bit of code i wrote that then lets you select the port by name and not id. personally i don't use it as i believe it's overkill and only takes a couple of tweaks and restarts to get the right device selected by id:

Code:
var.DevName = "test"

if (var.Init == 0) then
   for var.Count = 0 to 20 do
       midi.DeviceOut = var.Count
       if (midi.OutDevName ~= var.DevName) then
          debug = "Selected: " + midi.OutDevName + " at id=" + floor(var.Count)
          var.Count = 21 // end the loop
       end if
   end for
   var.init = 1
endif
that code only gets run the very first time (due to the var.Init stuff) and then displays your selected device in the same debug area i mentioned before.

i've never used rejoice so not sure what it can and can't do - you can definately use the analogs from glovepie tho.

Hey guys! I'm making a gamepad dj controller using 4 gamepads.. I use virtual dj and sometime traktor pro 2.. I tried many softwares, and the best one so far is glovepie, but as I'm not so good in programming, it's hard for me to program all 4 gamepads to midi signals that i can later use in virtual dj. Can someone kindly help me out (please write me a script or program where i can use all 4 gamepads with 2 analog sticks per gamepad as volume faders and effects control).. Please, I've been stuck with using joytokey, midiyoke, rejoice, midiloop, joy2pad, fergo, and all those ones that limit my use of gamepad.. And which software is best to convert these midi signals from glovepie to usable signals in virtual dj, or is glovepie enough as a standalone converter?

keep in mind, that the four buttons on your d-pad (the four directions thingy on the left) only state one direction at a time!

I copied the script but I cant find the small text box that you said, i just paste the scripts at the last line, maybe I am not doing right.

i believe the sounds come from some sort of internal MIDI converter from Windows, which turns the notes from your script into sounds (as MIDI notes were supposed to).

add the following line:

midi.DeviceOut = 2

the default setting is 1, which is the windows midi device mentioned above.

depending on you configuration you might have to choose device 3, just see what works for you.

hope this helps!
Chasidy Heckenbach

not sure what/where the sounds are that you're hearing - but in traktor make sure you create a new generic midi device in the controller manager and then select the loopMIDI input port for it.

from there you just add>in whatever u want to try - going for something easy like 'play' first or something i guess - then click 'learn' and press the button u want. also select the deck u want it to control, or u can make the whole config/tsi deck focussed by selecting a global default - i've never done that tho.

Thanks zestoi, Actually this the are things I done for the last couple of hours, I installed midi yoke in windows 7, then I downloaded glovepie and Extra Classic Script, when I ran the script I hear some tone when I press each button, I realize it was a good indication so I went mapping it with traktor pro, but at this point I dont know how to do it. and maybe I am missing something, I also tried to use rejoice but nothing happens, hope you will help me. thanks again

before mapping in traktor u need to check/confirm that the script is converting the right button presses etc into midi. the variables tab will show u any variables that change value, tho dont remember if the script actually uses any.

if the midi activity light in trakor lights up when ever u press any button u might be good to go anyway though.

something like midiox (for windows) is handy to check that midi data is being sent for each button press. make sure you're not trying to run traktor attached to the loopmidi port at the same time tho.

yes, you can select different joysticks via Joystick1, Joystick2...

These scripts which use a gamepad button as a 'scene' switch - would they work across multiple gamepads?

For example:
if (Joystick1.button5) = true then begin
midi.channel3.c5 = pressed (Joystick1.button1)
midi.channel3.d5 = pressed (Joystick2.button1)

It seems like it would but my gamepads are in 50 pieces packed away in a box right now.

nice one mate

here's another one - just one joypad but it has different 'scenes' so it might help other people with glovepie programming:

http://informationsaustausch.de/?p=85

I wrote a govePIE-script which converts the data of a USB-Joypad into MIDIdata. So you can fire patterns in your sequencer-software by pressing the buttons and squirl filters and effekts with the 2 analog sticks.

All you need is glovepie (a freeware programmable input emulator), direct x8 (or higher) and a programm to route the midisignal inside your computer (e.g. midiox). Then run the script
